Author here. AMA! :D

_ologyon Enhancing Your MIDI Devices: Round II

Thanks!

Nope. This is not about "live coding." It is just about creating MIDI - live or not. I do reference the modules you can use for real-time operation: MIDI::RtMidi::FFI::Device and MIDI::RtMidi::ScorePlayer :)

_ologyon How to learn how to write great tests in Python?

You might have a look at the O'Reilly book from August 2, 2017: "Test-Driven Development with Python: Obey the Testing Goat: Using Django, Selenium, and JavaScript" 2nd Edition

_ologyon Ask HN: Best resources for learning games theory

http://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Introduction-Theory-Mathematica... is a cool little book that introduces matrix game theory. (And I wrote https://metacpan.org/pod/Game::Theory::TwoPersonMatrix because of it.)

_ologyon Visualize move, protection and threat status in chess

These instructions are incorrect. Please check out the repo README. (Basically relace all the "make stuff" with `sudo cpan .`)

Hm. If I were an advanced player I might be up to creating an advanced mode! ;-)

_ologyon Visualize move, protection and threat status in chess

Fixes made! 1. Increased piece size, and 2. colored the background of squares if protected, instead of increasing the border size. Thanks again. :)

_ologyon Visualize move, protection and threat status in chess

Thank you for your feedback!

I can definitely make the pieces larger. I will experiment...

The the tiny green border is definitely difficult to discern. I will think about how to display protection status more effectively. :)

_ologyon Visualize move, protection and threat status in chess

It's not a very detailed explanation but the write-up is here: http://techn.ology.net/visualize-move-protection-and-threat-...

It's written as a server program in Perl, but it's relatively easy to install and run on your own computer:

> git clone https://github.com/ology/Chess-Inspector.git

> cd Chess-Inspector

> perl Makefile.PL

> make

> sudo make install

> perl bin/app.pl

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your web browser. Voila!
