timetocode / developer-console.coffee
Created April 10, 2013 01:13
add console-like functionality to an html input, while staying decoupled follows a node.js module.exports style, so something like browserify is required before this console can be used as client-side javascript
# developer console
inputEle = null # the console's Prompt (an html input)
dispEle = null # the console's output (a div, span, etc)
submitAction = null # function to run on the input
enabled = false
exports.enable = () ->
# ensures html elements have been specified
# ensures that the console is not already active
if inputEle && dispEle && !enabled

timetocode / lagCompensation.js
Last active March 15, 2019 03:14
Lag compensation of a player's attack, using a historical stack of quadtrees and "rewinding" relevant entities stored in the quadtrees to the position they were at in the recent past (as decided by the player's ping).There is a SIGNFICANT oddity to this code, which is that quadtrees used for collisions are point quadtrees. Because of this, the i…
// a fat hitbox around the player considered the 'relevant' area for a collision
var hitArea = new AABB({x: player.x, y: player.y}, { x: 54, y : 54})
var actualHitArea = new AABB({x: player.x, y: player.y}, { x: 36, y : 36})
// how behind the player is, in server time
var delay = player.ping + (1000 / player.tickRate)
var tickLength = 1000 / TICKS_PER_SECOND
var ticksAgo = Math.floor(delay / tickLength)
var tickPortion = (delay % tickLength) / tickLength

timetocode / Twitch.tv is channel live api query
Last active December 31, 2015 14:09
Query Twitch.tv to see if a channel is streaming! Assumes a div of id = 'streaming' to put the results, and a couple css classes to style the results.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// your twitch channel name
var twitchName = 'yourchannelname'
// an element on your page to put the widget into
var elementSelector = '#streaming'
// HTML to display while waiting for data

A script to display if a certain channel is currently live on Twitch.tv. To use this script on your website, paste all of the code from the "head code" into the <head></head> tag of webpage. Then paste the one line from "body code" wherever the widget should appear.
<div id='streaming'></div>

Entity interpolation
/* Entity Interpolation
this code occurs within the draw loop for an entity
this.x and this.y represent the most recently received server position of
the entity -- though i don't ever intend to use it for drawing
when an update is received (roughly every 50ms in my particular game) this.x and this.y get
pushed into previousState.x and previousState.y
i also continue sloppily onwards to previousPreviousState.x, but I've removed that code

timetocode / Entity.js
Last active February 9, 2017 04:50
An example of extending a prototypical game Entity to have different functionality (via adding functions to the prototype) in its server environment than on the game client.
// a simple game entity having a name and positional data
function Entity(name) {
this.name = name
this.x = 0
this.y = 0
this.speed = 5
}
module.exports = Entity

An example of procedurally generating a cloudy pattern out of hand typed octaves of simplex noise. There may be an error in here, I can't quite remember if this is what the end image should look like or not. I feel like the darks should be darker and the lights lighter, but either way this is the general idea. The traditional approach is to writ…
