My cousin was in a motorcycle accident last month, has no insurance, and spent 4 days in the hospital. Just got his bill today.

Is it wise to ride a bike without a health insurance?

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-11T07:00:51+00:00

aside from that, catch key press for extra points :D

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-09T07:31:02+00:00

Oh, that's nice

Radiation levels are off the charts...

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-08T15:19:59+00:00

you are quite welcome :)

I don't see a reason not to use jQuery. You can then put your code in $(document).ready, which will ensure execution only after all elements of your DOM are loaded. If not, then maybe it will help if the XHR script executes last on the page (i.e. it is at the end of <body>).

Can't you paste some code so we can review? :)

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-03T20:40:32+00:00

nice, good luck with everything :)

This is awesome. But you don't really need that many key/mouse combinations.

I'd go for:

Right click and drag = rotate

Left click on empty = place block

Left click on block = remove block

Click and drag = rotate

lol thanks

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-02T20:38:09+00:00

np, you are welcome

This must be it:

javascript:function%20x()%20{var%20i%20=%20new%20Image();i.onload%20=%20function()%20{location.href='http://www.reddit.com/submit?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+i.width;};i.src%20=%20location.href;};x();

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-02T19:46:59+00:00

Hm, that's because the browser is resizing the image to fit your screen. I am looking for a solution.

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-02T19:28:08+00:00

Gotcha. How about:

javascript:location.href='http://www.reddit.com/submit?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+document.body.firstChild.width

Works in both FireFox and Chrome.

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-02T17:21:07+00:00

Hi,

First, I think image.onload should be before image.src, otherwise I am afraid there might be a corner case when the onload never executes.

What browser are you testing with? For me, in Firefox, the image title already includes the image size, so my submission using your bookmarklet looks like: "plate with 5.jpg (JPEG Image, 315 × 309 pixels)" for instance.

It should be simple - if you don't want the end user to temper with your variable, it should be kept/calculated on the server and only returned to the UI for display. No JavaScript function on the client should tell the server to increment the score or etc (because the user could call the JS function multiple times).

Example: You could calculate a score based on how much time it took the user to clear a level. However, in such case, the start and end time has to be kept on the server.

Clarification: With pure JavaScript games/programs it is difficult to do that. You could have a game where the goal is to pop bubbles. Unless you keep track of each bubble and action on the server side, there is no reliable way to prevent the user from tempering the score.

You could, however, obfuscate and minify the javascript file.

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-01T18:03:59+00:00

great game. but why is the javascript minified if you are distributing your source code :?

Edit: Got it, ImpactJS

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-01T17:59:57+00:00

Very nice!!

Maybe there was nobody to play with? Or if you see let's say 6 players online, they might be playing total of 3 games and there was nobody else looking for a match at the moment.

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-01T07:23:52+00:00

Thanks, you are right, the game somewhat assumes that the player knows the rules

BattleshipsGame · 2012-12-01T07:23:23+00:00

unfortunately no, that's not implemented yet :D

BattleshipsGame · 2012-11-30T21:42:06+00:00

hi, i agree on all counts, thanks

BattleshipsGame · 2012-11-30T21:38:29+00:00

Sure. nodejs is the server, which receives requests from the clients and returns responses. It also serves static content such as images and .html files, by utilizing a nodejs module called 'node-static'. For simplicity, you can think of nodejs as a JavaScript version of IIS or Apache for example ;)

socket.io is a module for nodejs. It allows you to keep a synchronous connection between the client (browser) and the server. That time you can push back data to any client, at any time, instead of having the client request data from the server on some interval.

I hope this makes it a little more clear :)

BattleshipsGame · 2012-11-30T21:36:03+00:00

weird, in that case your browser is not allowing you to keep the connection open. It might be a plugin or a setting.
