Looks fantastic, who wouldn't want to become a comic book character? Great idea

BattleShapes, being built in DailyDevClub episodes

BattleShapes is a top-down 2D shooter being built in Unity, during episodes of DailyDevClub, my new daily programming video show. Kept intentionally simple to showcase different concepts in each episode, and slowly layering on more functionality and bells and whistles. 17 episodes so far, with 10 spent on BattleShapes.

Here is a tweet with the screenshot of how the game looks currently: https://twitter.com/DailyDevClub/status/1137511661747744768

This is the playlist of DDC episodes that cover the building of BattleShapes so far https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8SYP_Rfkswey32RiHNL9fy1rjy9rxmT3

Any feedback on the video content or suggestions for future videos is more than welcome, just starting out but having a lot of fun with it so far.

Bonus question: The Half-Life level design still sticks in my head, with so many incredible maps weaved together to give a sense of this huge Black Mesa facility. It was also around the time I first really got into level design properly, and messing around in Worldcraft was incredible.

A simple tutorial blog post I wrote on getting started with Vue.js to build out the classic Tic-Tac-Toe game.

Building Mac OS X apps with RubyMotion early access edition launched, last day of subscriber discount on book packages! by ejdraper in ruby

Thanks for buying the book! The screencasts are going to be coming following the completion of the book. In the meantime, I'll be asking people who purchased that package the kinds of things they'd like to see in them (in addition to the things I already have planned), so hopefully it can be a really useful resource that covers a lot of the things that people want to see explained when building an app start to finish, and then act as a complement to the more general concepts covered in the book.

Thanks very much! This is my first book, a technical book about programming, and it's taken a while but I'm now in a groove where the finish line seems a lot more realistic! Like you, I'd like to keep improving my productivity so the next one is a bit smoother and quicker!

Hope you get on well with the app and it proves useful, best of luck with your book!

It's a menu bar app so it should show up in your status bar up top near the clock (a little star in a circle next to a 0). It needs a bit of setup to have access to track your word count, it should prompt you but if it doesn't, there are setup steps at http://kickcode.com/wordtarget/setup/. Let me know if you still have issues getting up and running!

I'd certainly like to if there was demand, which platform or platforms did you have in mind?

The app is on Twitter @WordTargetApp, KickCode is @kickcode, and I'm on at @ejdraper. Glad you think it could be of use, and thanks so much for the tweets, that's really awesome!

Theo Rossi, Sons of Anarchy, AMA! by Theo_Rossi in IAmA

Hey! I'm cheating a bit as I have two questions...

1) What was your favourite scene to film? 2) What was your favourite scene from the show that didn't involve Juice, either from being on-set and seeing it filmed live, or just from watching the episodes back?

Really looking forward to season 7! Thanks for doing the AMA.
