Response to: is 3 hours enough sleep? Posted October 31st, 2012 in General

Nope. After a week of getting only around 5 hours a sleep, I got really tired. The next week I fell asleep just after school and cold not get to sleep at night.

I've heard a lot about that the UK version is better. Though, I have only watched the US version.

They have gone to many impasses up in the years, but I think the new season 7 is pretty good so far.

Response to: how to make isometric game Posted October 13th, 2012 in Programming

You have to read and learn about it. It is indeed hard to start making something like that RIGHT away. Maybe you should start drawing isometric? The hardest thing here (i think) is the view - it's hard to make a perspective when drawing. Now, I'm talking about how to make it all stick together.

I don't know what platform you are seeking and anything else, but yeah: Making a basic character just walking around on tiles is a start? And then go further; adding more and more advanced things to the level. It's all about how much experience you have as an developer.

I'm having holidays right now, but on my normal routine I wake up at 6:30 and watch Simpsons as I eat. It's great and adding this to a boring school scheducle is just awesome. Doing the same things everyday does not mean it's boring. If you're bored of things, change them!

Response to: scariest dream? Posted September 28th, 2012 in General

It looks OK. I liked the one before better, but if that's what you think is best... yup. It looks kinda more modern.

Btw, I don't think a lot of people visit this site from mobile. Most devices (like iOS) does not support Flash. And those who support it (Android etc) is not good to play with.

Maybe you guys should make support for HTML5 and encurage people to make games supporting mobile devices too?

Brainfart on my part there. I forgot that's what he was originally doing.

Yeah and it's probably the only way if he doesn't want to do WebSockets (which I personally think is redundant for this).

To OP:
Looking at http://www.random.org/, the requests take about 206 to 506ms to send the XHRs. Maybe you can compare it to that site?

Check your hosting providers speed, too! I don't know which one you use, but I've read that many do not deliver the speed they said they will.

POST isn't more secure. It just encodes the data directly into the request. It can be spoofed or intercepted just as easily.
I get what you're saying with how it's simpler to adjust GET variables to undesirable values than with POST values, but it's a bit disingenuous to call that less secure.

The only "more secure" option is to use HTTPS. All HTTP methods are equally insecure.

I have never had so much experience with HTTP headers. But I belive that if OP is not sending anything sensitive data at all, he can use GET and normal HTTP. (Based on that he wants the "fastest" method)


here:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_serversentevents.asp
W3Schools is terrible. Please don't post links to there. They do more harm to those whom are still learning than good.

I just knew someone would say something about W3Schools. I agree with you, but I kinda feel like it's people are hate grouping against that site.

Case in point: that page you just linked to teaches very poor JavaScript practice:

var source=new EventSource("demo_sse.php");
source.onmessage=function(event)
{
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML+=event.data + "<br>";
};

Disregarding the poor use of getElementByid the opening curly brace should never be placed on the next line. Doing so is error-prone:

function foo()
{
return
{
hello:"world"
};
}

That function will return undefined.
I won't go into detail as to why, but it's because when JavaScript notices that you forgot a semi-colon it attempts to fix it for you, and it thinks that after the return statement that's what happened, so that ends up being return; which returns undefined.

I agree with you. Though, I don't know anything about Server Sent Events, but there must be a way to send GET or post data to his PHP? Only thing I know is that when searching for it, some prefer SSE over WebSockets.

The problem with this is that it's not well documented :)

Anyways OP... concentrate more on deveoping nice things and not get stuck up on ONE thing!
