There are over 1,000 apps submitted to the App Store every day.[1] With all of these apps, making a game that stands out is pretty difficult. And making a game that remains popular over a larger period of time is even harder.
Well, at long last, What's Line is done! Or at least as done as any app can be.
So I had a rough prototype of the game set up, but there were a few problems: the game was pretty laggy, the whole thing happened in DOM, and opening the game on multiple PC's would desync the fish's location. Additionally, it was...
A brief writeup on my foray into NodeJS, Socket.IO, and more with Sardines!
Just a quick progress update on What's Line. It's pretty much finished! All of the functionality I had originally planned out, (minus the Facebook login and some small details on keeping track of score) are implemented!
One of my best friends siblings was in a poll competition on a popular blog. He was doing okay, but he wasn't close to the lead. I thought I'd see if it was possible to boost his numbers a bit.
About a week ago, I noticed that someone had posted on the subreddit /r/Jailbreak asking for a tweak. What it did was make it so when you selected text, and clicked shift, it would toggle the text through UPPERCASE, lowercase, and the...

A developer license for Apple costs $100. Now, if you know that you wish to launch an app, that's pretty cheap to get access to all of the great resources and ability to push as many apps as you want onto the App Store. However, while...
A good way to reorganize the chaos that is Banner is to sort all of the links into the main purposes. There are a few main reasons that people go onto Banner:
There are a bunch of changes that I made to Anchor to fix or implement features. Here are some of the changes:
This blog uses the very lightweight CMS Anchor. Now, when I set it up, I googled 'lightweight PHP blog', clicked the first link, and installed it. However, in retrospect it probably wasn't the greatest idea. For one, while Anchor is on...
I'm now finally starting to get back into working on What's Line?, the name that I finally settled on for the app that keeps track of line. Some of the functionality has changed, which will become clear as I continue working through the...
I write a bunch of quick Python programs that interact with Banner. However, for a while now it's been a pain trying to login, as Banner requires you to be using cookies, and have JavaScript enabled (difficult to do with Python)....
