We're big believers in open source and a lot of our technology is, as you can see, open source.
Timestep, our canvas game library, is probably the most interesting project there at the moment.
It'…

I'm the author of xc.js ( https://github.com/fairfieldt/xcjs ). If you're looking for an equivalent product, xc.js has a big advantage over the others listed: it runs natively on iOS (and Android soon…

Cloud9 IDE ( http://www.cloud9ide.com/ ) is a neat looking project. It's Javascript-centric right now but I believe it will be more generally useful.…

A plausible (if not likely) explanation is that a large number of the searches for Katy Perry included other terms that caused Google to identify the searches as "not entertainment".

I'm using node (with expressjs) as part of my stack. It interacts with Mongodb and provides a public HTTP api. I wouldn't use it as my main webserver, but it's really nice for this part of it.

Yep it's a pretty close replica of the love2d site. I have been in contact with the love2d people and, although the actual author of the site has been sick and away from the internet, the group as a …

Yep, that's it although the repository isn't up to date. I need to push a lot of changes.

I considered node as a platform for a desktop version. Unfortunately it doesn't run easily on Windows, which is a pretty big detractor for a game framework. The iOS backend uses Spidermonkey which co…

I initially tried just that. Implementing the canvas drawing api turned out to be too slow with the Spidermonkey js engine, which is what I had to use. If I could use a jit version of Spidermonkey o…

I was a purple robot too. I wonder if you're always a purple robot.

It seems that this could easily introduce unproductive behavior. "I want this badge so I'll introduce this bug and then fix it." Or "you introduce this bug so I can fix it". For an open source proje…

He realized that there were a set number of patterns. Once he figured that out it was easy to hit the button when the next square was going to be the one he wanted.

I don't believe so. Wayland is in the really early stage of development right now, which makes me read this announcement as "Ubuntu is going to start committing developers to Wayland. You can build i…

In addition to the "I'm dissatisfied" button, you should consider leaving the price in the text box so that "go" has the same effect of repeating the search.

A few (an AMG v8 and a Toyota? at least) direct injection motors already choose the correct piston to start firing. I think they all still use a starter but it would be much less of a stretch to impl…

For a restricted subset of Javascript it wouldn't be that hard. I'm not sure that solves the iphone problem though - I don't think it's kosher to use non c/c++/objc code. A Javascript to C compiler w…

Yep, I hit this roadblock too. For my similar project I ended up using a non-jit version of Spidermonkey for embedded Javascript. Interpreted performance is pretty poor in comparison to jit though, …
