The result: [http://xkcd.reknet.ca][1]
After seeing a nice [HTML/JS version][2] of [xkcd #1340][3] and a comment wondering if the same was possible for the world clock in [xkcd #1335][4] I decided to try my hand at it. The original is loaded from a set of static images, one for every 15 minutes, and refreshed via javascript. Let's see if I can do something similar dynamically.

I designed and prototyped an artificial life framework for simulation (or games) in Java 8. When I was happy with what I had made and how it could be used the first thing I thought about was making it open source. Actually getting to the point where anyone can use or contribute to it was a right nightmare (had no doc at all)!
I think my open source framework would be really useful to students or to anyone going open source. Here is why:

| Background Info: the last project we worked on needed basic 2D functionality (sprites and animations) and SpriteKit was born to fill this need (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cabAr2CdLmc). It has no fancy editors and was really made to fit a specific need and as of yet it has not been extended much further than the video shows. Something a bit more full featured is required for a new prototype and instead of spending a bunch of time extending SpriteKit we went on a search for alternatives. None of the below frameworks are perfect and they all have pluses and minuses. One thing SpriteKit had that none of the others do is automatic texture selection based on screen resolution. That is one thing I would like to see incorporated in every 2D framework and it kind of surprises me that it isn't one of the first features added when making a 2D framework. | |
