Time waste.. Wonder why these kind of things come on top of HN. What does this project teaches us? Nothing..

Is this not Hacker News? Seriously, what the fuck is up with all these closed-minded, anti-hacker comments today? Is HN really just a bunch of knuckle-dragging, startup-fellating retards now?

Really you think you are super smart and everyone else is "startup-fellating" retard? Solve a real problem for once in your life and then start to say crap. I felt the project was useless and didn't solve anything. I am entitled to my opinion. Apart from "Masturbating monkey" like you who get exciting at anything that comes at #1 on HN, for once use your mind and think if it really helped you or did you learn anything new?

It's called experimenting. We use it to evolve.

How much did you evolved today? Got much better already.

Enough not to engage in this conversation with you but not enough to not reply.

Btw, for someone complaining about losing time, you seem to have a lot of it. ;)

It's Friday! I had to reply. Indeed a time waste, thanks for the reminder. ;)

? Of how little javascript you need to get a whole bunch of things done. In this game, you could efficiently generate several different objects of various animations doing different sorts of stuff simply by putting in the least of javascript. It is less resource intensive and more natural to the browser because it leverages things it expects.

Several years ago, this game would be very resource heavy and use lots of JS, but as more common uses of JS are merged into CSS, JS is less and less relied on.

Well, if you take a look at the code. Most of it is doing things in CSS what could easily have been done in JS.

Doing something to make a statement and doing something useful are two different things.

I have two questions for you though i agree with you on couple of points:

- Are you ever going to use this in near future(say 1/2 years)?

- Will you ever be able to maintain or write something of this sort when complexity arises? CSS is a domain specific declarative language. A lot of cool things could be done with it.But for game development? Hell No!

You might find some sense in these arguments, i hope!

angry much?

Angry over what? Some crap.

Little disappointed on the content quality of HN nowadays , rather than seeing stories of inspiring people solving some real problem and doing some real shit. All i see now is anything goes up at #1.
