React – Simple Search, Results, and Sortable Header

Scopique October 8, 2021

Although it’s now considered bad form to use the table tag in web development, sometimes it’s worth the public ridicule. Responsive layouts are all the rage these days, with users viewing sites on a 4K monitor as well as a relatively tiny…

{Insert Generic Catch-All Title Here}

Scopique September 17, 2021

You know, when it’s been long enough between posts that many low-level topics are vying for attention in my head, the best I can do is write one of these grab-bag posts and give them each a short turn at the microphone.…

ReactJS – Custom Hooks for Searching

Scopique July 29, 2021

Most of what I do in my day job involves searching data. As I work for a data-focused company, my primary responsibility revolves around putting a nice face on the ugly body of data storage. Some folks can access the database directly…

React and Colyseus – Custom React Hooks

Scopique June 27, 2021

I will start by giving props to the site useHooks.com, which has afforded me the absolute best breakthrough I have yet to receive in my journey into the world of React. First, what is a hook? In React terms, a hook is…

Behold! My new game! If only it were that easy. What you see above is a simple test client which allows me to enter a sector ID, click ENTER, and enter the associated Colyseus Room on the server. The act of joining…

React and Colyseus – State

Scopique May 16, 2021

State is what the server knows about your game world at any given time. In Colyseus terms, state is per-room, so it’s more apt to say that “state is what the server knows about the game room at any given time”. There…

React and Colyseus – Setting Up A Server

Scopique May 16, 2021

When I say “setting up a server”, I’m overreaching here; I’m not an expert on any of this, and these articles are mainly my way of leaving notes to my future self as well as for anyone like me who might be…

React and Colyseus – Node-Mans Land

Scopique May 16, 2021

I suck at puns. Node is a Javascript server. Out of the box it does nothing, instead relying on the developer to write onboarding code to give the server functionality. Many Discord bots are written using Node, and it can be used…
