This document has moved!

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Exploiting Lua 5.1 on 32-bit Windows

The following Lua program generates a Lua bytecode program called ignore-unsigned-sga.fnt, which in turn loads a DLL from within an extremely locked down Lua 5.1 sandbox in a program called RelicCOH2.exe. The remainder of this document attempts to explain how this program works by a whirlwind tour of relevent bits of the Lua 5.1 virtual machine.

if string.dump(function()end):sub(1, 12) ~= "\27Lua\81\0\1\4\4\4\8\0" then
  error("This generator requires a 32-bit version of Lua 5.1")
end

This is a small collection of scripts showing how to use require.js. It's only one of several ways of setting up a require.js project, but it's enough to get started.

At its core, require.js is about three things:

1. Dependency management
2. Modularity
3. Dynamic script loading

The following files show how these are achieved.
