After a bit of prodding around I’ve not only found out that selecting JavaScript objects and arrays with jQuery is fully supported, but there are also some potential use cases! It all started a couple of weeks ago when I thought it would be cool to bind custom events to actual JavaScript objects.
After weeks of debate an answer has emerged. Live rhymes with “jive”? Or live rhymes with “give”?… that was the discussion point that was starting to turn ugly… In the live/jive corner: the “live” event is always on – like a live broadcast. In the live/give corner: the corresponding remove event is called “die”, so […]

Just a quick note-to-self… I’m a big fan of using self-invoking anonymous functions to keep stuff out of the global namespace, but I forgot that they are also nifty for keeping variables in scope via closures. Here’s the problem… Let’s say with have an array that we’d like to populate with functions. The functions simply […]
Today I was trying to decouple some JavaScript classes in a game prototype I’ve been working on. I didn’t want to get into implementing some kind of interface behaviour, and so I thought about a simple Observer pattern. There are a bunch of solutions around the tubes (and indeed I’ll probably use one of them) […]
I’m getting pretty sick of people coming up to me on the street and asking how they can play their records backwards to hear the devil. “I can’t spin it backwards at a constant rate” they cry, “and I get tired after a while. What can be done?!”. It’s upsetting that this problem still plagues […]

Conway’s Game of Life is a simple cellular automaton based on a few simple rules. There’s about fifty gabillion implementations of it around. Here’s mine: Game Of Life in Javascript (rendered, of course, on Canvas). I just followed the rules on the Wikipedia entry, so I’m not 100% sure it’s fully “Game Of Life Compliant”, […]
On the way to work today I remembered an old trick to create a “fire” effect: you randomly assign a colour to the pixels on the bottom row of the screen (in the same hue) and for each row above it take the average of the 3 pixels immediately below it, and 1 pixel that […]
