Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this story - I just received an email from James and now I feel even more honored. I am doing quite a lot with Firebase these days and this makes me want to use it even more.

Come to think of it, this surprises me.

very JoCo-like! Awesome!

I probably would have given telescope a chance but this might have a different feature set. http://telesc.pe/

How is the localization done? I'd be interested in a german version (and would contribute).

Now someone could to step up and form a band called 'Santiago Swallow' following this micro-hype.

Oh - thanks for the info. I was under the impression it would be a pun towards Fort Knox.

Thank you for your comment. I was just posting it, I am not the author. In this thread I found out this was posted before and I hope Josh reads all of this.

While I fully endorse emscripten ( see http://web3dblog.wordpress.com/2012/11/19/news-on-bananabrea... ) I started to play around with https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit which is a precompiled chromium that loads a HTML/CSS/JS-Zip file - no compilation at all. If you are in the WebGL/Three.JS field this might be another way to go. I will follow both paths.

This is exactly what you do in ThreeJS.

   THREE.GeometryUtils.merge

does that.

Sure. Mail sent.

I am working on something similar with the prospect of getting CannonJS physics to work so that one can walk the city (in my case procedurally generated): https://twitter.com/dirkk/status/309024330115842049

I also tried a multi-device approach for visualisation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TiZzovx5YE

Any chance of collaboration?

From this thread I reckon there are quite a few people working on something similar. I guess it would be extremely cool if we could join forces.

Come to think of it, one can nearly consider this a 'serious game' (though I don't like the term much) or it could be enhanced into this: after all it describes the ... process in quite an entertaining way.

It even explains why sometimes losing is a good thing. :-)

It really took me some time to find out what this is about but it becomes obvious when you are near the target :-). Great job!

Exactly.

Axing the reader makes my private and professional life/work way more complicated. That is the first time that a Google believer like me feels they pulled the rug under me.

exactly.

Would you care to open the Python implementation? (and thx for open sourcing the Ruby one)

... and still nobody wrote 'Pachelbel' yet. :-)

This is clearly the case with me, yes, since one can't really avoid JS.

rather WISIWYG (what I see is what you get).

I just mailed Shawn, and this was his response: Q: "and I wonder - did you try this out in the 'field' (ie class room), already?" A:"Yeah, I have, I have been playing this for 2 years with students. The response has been amazing, both for guys and girls, they are really into it."

and you can do things like

  "screen -X -S minecraftserver -p 0 -X stuff "say test $(printf '\r')"

fantastic! thank you!

This is old news but still beautiful.

And I was reminded of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuZYhFtSZsY

@puzzle: great idea!

Which reminds me of Notchs upcoming(?) game with the DCPU-16. http://dcpu.com/dcpu-16/ http://0x10co.de/ Assembler know-how might be in demand soon.

Probably the best hour I spent on youtube for some time - thanks for the link. Loads of insights there on many levels.

Indeed - thanks.

You are absolutely right IMHO.

Same problem (seems off-topic but i am not so sure it is) is for someone who doesn't smoke. I don't and I thought about starting (or at least getting myself chocolate cigarettes) to join the colleagues outside during the break to stay in the information loop.
