I wonder how much of this is due to cheap outsourcing, keeping the salaries lower for a non architect role?

(If you're in an architect type role I guess you have a higher salary)

Reminds me of this project using a pic 16c84 I built in the 90's

This is a great concept and very well implemented.

Regardng ROMS: Keep the page clean of adverts with no direct download link of the roms, and you should be ok (for a while at least)

Back in the day this would have taken 15 minutes to download - seeing this appear instantly loses some of what it conveys. Need some setTimeouts adding on those images.....

If, like what happened a few months back when Spectre / Meltown was out lots of web based game engines 'broke' for a few weeks.

With other dev languages you chose the runtime and wait out the 'bad' versions. With browser based games you cannot do that and so are at the mercy of the engineers fix.

I used this years ago - however ended up with construct 2. I've also contributed to the open source scratch 2 apk (runs in a browser) using webRTC for the cloud vars. It's the only scratch emulator with lists support too.

This is why I favor Android in these situations. It's far easier and cheaper platform to get a (web) app out there.

I have created a scratch to apk service (requires no permissions either) using javascript and then an apk signer (which can then be side loaded) - Job Done as they say.

Yes, but VP9 is free.

Ok, so there's a small triangle button top left of screen you press...

Well... I installed onto my moto g lte and it's running (after it d/w pak0) nicely, where are the touch controls?

If I restart the app it just goes into demo mode on one of the levels.

EDIT: Good job btw on the game speed!

My goodness! Looks like we are changing JavaScript into Java.

It looks like I need to relearn the language that has paid my bills for so long....

1) Save it as a html file. 2) Load that html file in a webview 3) Compile to apk

One of my pet projects was 'emoticon select' where it would analyse the users face and play a song relating to how they feel. No playlists needed.

Scratch then Construct 2 (outputs js)

elf files

or just straight DOM:

javascript:for(i=4051;i--;)document.write(i%~80?'&#'+(9585+new Date%i%2):'<p style=margin:-.5em>')

I found a fault when using a webview and rendering em's - it (as well as Chrome in debug mode for touch devices) didn't show the 8x scaling issue you get with a real device, which was annoying.

Is that class overloaded?

So - if you notice that the web site your visiting isn't https anymore when you have a login screen over wifi, you have been compromised.

Does Daydream immersion feel like your looking through a box like cardboard does due to the fov?

I guess this will be similar.

android:allowBackup="true"

But I may want my app to be installed to the sd storage.

On a separate note: can we not recalc the apk v1 signatures via a javascript crypto function?

Unfortunately issues arise when using em's in Android webview compared to Chrome. Em's get rendered about 8x in webview, even though the Chrome emulator shows otherwise. I tried the % way but that doesn't fix it either.

I recently bought construct 2 after trying many open source alternatives. The issue I have with some of the open source stuff is when you want to use pixel art - it insists on re scaling either the camera (in a 2d scene) or the pixel art itself. It's a turn off that stops me from going any further with the product.

Hopefully Godot doesn't exhibit this behaviour.

I thought it's just a vm?

@media print css as well:

Totally agree - though I wish they would show files > 2Mb though on the web editor.

I develop directly on github - I even make all my commits to the Master branch, as this allows me to code with a nexus 7 tablet if necessary.

So this outage was a PITA for me. However I have plan B and started up tomcat...

Saved the day!

P.S. Thanks github for the free hosting! I can't really complain .

I see one of the investors was the BBC - so that's where my licence fee goes :)

" neverending treadmill of having to implement obscure features that they didn’t even know they were relying on,"

I been coding emulators for fun (i.e. NES, Scratch) and it's been an interesting journey with all the gotcha's involved - however I don't think I have the motivation for any flash based ones, the only exception I've worked on my scratch2apk emulator (javascript) which has plenty of games going for it!

What I would like to see is something like:

var conversation = new dataChannel("Chat") // if 'Chat' is valid then join 'Chat' else create a new connection

if (conversation.init) {

   onConversation.receive(fn); // some event model
   conversation.send("Hi"); 

   // some receive fn...
}

Hehe... like the way you load all the javascript inside a div before removing the div - sneaky.
