I assume that's AppGameKit with which I'm no familiar so correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this be better:


That way you don't make all those GET calls each iteration and this optimizes the code so it'll save precious resources, esp on the mobile platform.
Like I say, dunno about AppGameKit so maybe there's a reason to do it your way, but I just thought I'd put it out there in case it's of use.

Your estranged half-brother from one of your father's per-marital flings is in trouble with a drug cartel headed by a terrifying man named Carlito. You, and only you, can save him. But in order to do that you need to get in touch with ex-gangster-turned-preacher, Jerome, who preaches from the corner of Cockshutt Rd *giggle* (sorry, can't type that with a straight face) and Woodley Rd. Jerome, and only Jerome, knows Carlito's one and only weakness in a fight. Hurry, save your estranged half-brother!!!

Reason enough?

In your method definitions, it looks like you're missing semi-colons at the end of them. Since it's essentially an assignment operation, try that and see if it works then.

I wasn't aware a semicolon was needed, I'll add them now! However it seems my problem was in the setInterval function, I'd have never spotted it on my own.

Hmm... Got a good day's work done I coded the beginning of a terrain module today. So far it can read from a heightmap, divide the heightmap into chunks (each chunk is a separate object) and apply the height to each vertex. I also got a detail map working, and the vertices are colored based on the texture file. I haven't gotten normals properly working, though.











Pretty proud of myself

JavaScript has a long way to go before it will be any good at making really good web applications or games. The lack of operator overloads is so annoying when working with vectors.

xD Same w/ Java. And basic ;D

Special relativity is annoying. Partly because I'm only thinking about the problems half-intently. That's always bad.

I think your first problem is that your class 'molecule' is lower case, it should be: 'Molecule';

And secondly, for the reason already explained in the stack overflow post.

Also for another coding tip, I usually style my Javascript classes like this:


With this method, you can also do inheritance:


Its essentially the same way you've been doing it, but by creating an anonymous function using:

(function(){})();

you are making sure that all the methods enclosed within that function are executed (defined).

qb as in QBasic? Then yes, I did
Oh boy, I've been waiting for someone to ask...

I was 11 or so, maybe a few months before 11. I had an old 286 with DOS and I stubled onto it. There were no books on coding anywhere near me and, of course, my country didn't have much of an internet so only businesses and a few elite actually had access.
So I couldn't learn so I taught myself. By analysing Nibbles, Gorillas, Remline and the money manager (was it Money) .bas I gained the power to create a quizz game that used a do-loop and an input and kept looping until the right answer was typed. Each question had its own loop. But cut a kid who has no educational material some slack.
My biggest epiphany was when I WORKED OUT that if I had a var and assigned it to itself + 1 then I could score and stuff; score = score + 1. Sounds like a mokey figuring out using a stick but remember I had no materials to study, no people to help me and no algebra experience since we were still doing regular math. Again, cut the kid some slack.
From there I leaned using the 4 source codes provided and the command reference. I made lots of things - and a lotta retarted games with hideous designs but I think I take pride in being able to get that far without any tutorials.

Finally got I older and started studying other languages on and off but could never commit because I realised how tough making a real game would be. So essentially I didn't really code again for years. Later in my early adulthood I started, very noncomittedly, studying C. Then I found DBPro and though it was my magic elixir. I think we all think that at first. I made a lot of tech demos, a game and some apps. During this training - it was all training for my blockbuster - I realised how limited the language was. Since then I've been studying C++ on and off but I find it hard not to use C solutions lol.
Anyway, that's how Qbasic got me going. One day I'll make a thread with some of my QB source. It's scary.

Why I am glad I own a ThinkPad:


I just dropped it.

It lived to tell the tale...this tale that is, as this is being typed on said ThinkPad. My Acer would be dying a slow and painful death if it was the laptop I dropped.

Thankfully it wasn't. It was one of the cheap ThinkPads too...so I am glad they're still somewhat durable too.

Cool, I started coding with qb as well, but I had my own personal instructor, my older bro
It's really because of qb that I'm here right now typing this. And then when I was old enough for my parents to let me get my own computer, I moved on to FreeBasic, Visual Basic and DarkBasic. But I never really got into programming, I just did it ocasionally. And then, about a year or so ago, I reinstalled the OS on my old laptop and decided to get DarkBasic for it after all, there wasn't much else it was usful for, and I thought that might be something fun to do, so I downloaded the installer (free version) which also comes with the AppGameKit demo, I then looked into AppGameKit and started using it, then Bought the full version in the christmas sale early december last year and have published one app on the Google Play Store and literally finished my next one 30 minutes ago!

Well, now that I've posted my programming life story ..............
