Teaching Tuesday

Can you teach us something that's somehow relevant to this week's theme? Maybe a link to something useful, or even writing up a small tutorial.

Less teaching, more of a "thing I'm currently trying to learn".

Web browsers now have this thing called WebRTC.
You connect both browsers to the same "handler" script, and if they both have the same "room" and "key", they get passed each others IPs, and hook up together, at which point they can chat to each other and send messages and more. (That's a very simplistic way to describe it!)

The AI tried teaching me about this, and as good as I can get an example running, it seems like it might be hard to implement inside JSE, in a way that would make it hard to cheat. Especially since the user could just edit the code. Player 1 running a version that give 1 point for every coin, and Player 2 running one that gives 50!! I might have to md5 the entire program, or something like that.

Then you've the "how do we join the same room" thing, where I'll have to create an input method that handles keyboard, gamepad, mouse and touch, all at once, allowing for a quick and easy code-entry screen that also fits into all different types of games.
.. Yeah, this stuff's a "todo" feature that I'd love to add, but haven't quite wrapped my head around yet.

More teaching/learning to be done.

Worklog Wednesday

What have you done this week? This needn't be relevant to this week's theme. Just let us know what you're up to.

Did a lot of SoCoder tweaking, this week.

1. You should hopefully notice a lot of Unicode-based fixes in older forum posts. If you spot any awry unicode garbage, please do let me know.

2. The music player (still called PlatAmp until I'm 100% happy with it) is about 75% done. I'm currently trying to decide on a "style" method, and am considering doing a form of Winamp Skinning.. Not sure.
I keep thinking to myself 'you know.. You could probably "Winamp Skin" the whole site, like that..', and it's all spiralling out of control in my head..

3. Deleted posts now leave a "Delete post goes here" sort of message, instead of just being gone.

There's a few other minor things I've nipped and tucked across the site.

Other than that, this week's game ended up being alright, and next week's game .. Might also do. Not sure yet. Still trying to figure out what it is.

Redesigning works website for the first time in 10 or so years. It's been pretty fun so far!

Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
