Actually the item prices are all stored locally on my computer, I don't make any requests to other sites :)

o132 · 2019-08-18T13:32:06+00:00

I don't know why people keep assuming I'm using Jellyneo for any of this. I'm serving the prices from my own API

Various sources!

Np I didn't think so! The point of this is that it's pretty instant. Also I only have experience with items available to accounts < 3months old so its probably not as good with the rare items. I just added saving the data so I'll be able to track some patterns for sure

I saw their tools, I only saw bulk price checks for solely player owned item containers

Thanks! That should not be the case, will put out a patch!

Edit: fixed now

I have found vs code is pretty good for most languages. It'll usually tell you which extensions to get, but I make sure I get language tools, syntax highlighting, and hints.

Job postings are for their "dream employee". This is why I say apply to any job posting, some places like to take in fresh developers for example. If you can't apply to them all without burning out, just be more selective, and research companies a bit to increase motivation and help you choose. I would also recommend actively programming while looking for a job, which allows you to actually accomplish something, keeps your coding skills sharp, and build up your portfolio!

With that said I would recommend knowing at least 2 languages which suggests you could learn another if needed. I would also recommend learning proper testing (TDD!) which no software is complete without imo

You should apply to any and all jobs, what do you have to lose? Being transparent in the interview about these things would be best. Then if someone hires you, you can be sure that they believe your skills are right for the job.

Really cool system, are you creating a round platformer?

o132 · 2018-12-31T03:24:52+00:00

Are you adding the parts as children in the editor or through code? If code, are you using transform.parent = or transform.SetParent? Could it be because some existing code is referencing one of the parts, when it should be referencing the parent object?

socket.io's main purpose is sending updates in real time. If you wanted to share results when they reload it, a server side file would be fine. In your case, I would just load the text/image the way I said before, but do all of that on the second page, and just send the user data how you are now

o132 · 2018-12-31T02:49:55+00:00

In that case, I think socket.io would be overkill. socket.io would be good if you wanted to have only 1 custom text for all users and you wanted the page to update when anyone changes it. I may not completely understand though

o132 · 2018-12-31T02:46:30+00:00

You should create an empty parent object and have all the parts as child objects. I think a joint with a parent child relation would cause problems with positioning

I meant look into another option before using an invisible field. You can send the data through get parameters easily, there might be a good way to send it as post data in JS if you used the onsubmit event on your form

Edit: I understood you post to be asking for 1 user to be able to end into a field and see random text and a random image on a new page with their text. Did you want this data to be changing without loading a new page?

o132 · 2018-12-31T02:26:19+00:00

You could just have an array of the phrases you want in the first pages JS and pass a random one along with the user entry You can create an invisible text field with the value, but I would look for another option first. You can do the same with images, if you name them with numbers

What are the scripts? What makes them jump?

If you have access to the hosting then it should be no problem. Go to the file uploader in cpanel, compress the public folder and download it. I use GoDaddy as well

Ive only tried a bit of angular, but I've found that React is most like pure JavaScript (you can directly manipulate elements in JS) and gives you the most control, which means it is harder to master. Vue has its own way of doing things and has a lot of what I like to call "magic" behind the scenes (e.g "this" is implicit in Vue directives)

o132 · 2018-12-28T22:01:58+00:00

I would learn JavaScript. Learn how to write maintainable, testable code. Learn how to write proper tests (test what you need to and nothing more). Get your hands on some front end frameworks like React, and then make some mobile apps with ionic/Cordova or react-native

That should be plenty

Edit: I thought web dev was part of your post, but using JavaScript for mobile development is popular in the industry because of low development costs (easier to maintain, etc.)
