Reactionary – HeaderUser.js

Scopique November 1, 2019

I’m talking about this file next because it’s smaller, and there are a lot more things to talk about with Header.js than there are here. Line 1 should be familiar if you read the previous post. It aliases the ‘react’ library as…

React and Node with Colyseus

Scopique October 31, 2019

Here’s a short (hopefully) aside while I’m in the midst of my “Idiot’s Guide to React (As told by an actual idiot)” series. Learning something like React is cool, in part because it’s high on the list of “hot languages and stuff”…

Reactionary – HeaderTitle.js

Scopique October 31, 2019

I debated whether or not to talk about this file, because it doesn’t do anything worth talking about, but I decided to include it because we can use it to discuss the structure of a simple React file. React relies on the…

Reactionary

Scopique October 30, 2019

I had been working on a header design for an upcoming rework of several of our apps. I wanted a “unified” look and feel, because sometimes when you’re dealing with different developers over several years making intranet apps without adult supervision, things…

Developer Blues

Scopique October 30, 2019

I am really the last person you’d want doling out development advice, trust me. I have been “doing development” for about 20 years now, but the thing about doing development is that you’ll never be good enough unless you have a natural…

Going to Market

Scopique October 15, 2019

With the Big Bang generation done to the point where commodities are generated at both the planetary (production) and station (sales) level, it’s time to surface the result of this work in the marketplace. The flow is pretty simple: A character enters…

Cargo

Scopique October 10, 2019

Now that each station has it’s own set of commodities to sell and players can dock at stations, it’s time to get into the reeds and work with the buying and selling of goods. The first step is to create the ability…

A Growing Universe

Scopique October 9, 2019

Behold thy Universe! Or at least a good part of it. I managed to figure a way to speed up the planet commodity generation and saving and then re-used that method for the station market inventory. These are the two most intensive…

Big Data

Scopique October 8, 2019

My universe generation efforts have reached the point where I have to start concerning myself with specifics. The first steps in the generator deal with the very top level constructs like star systems, jump gates, planets, and stations. These were relatively easy…

Where Do We Go From Here?

Scopique October 1, 2019

I am now at a point where, aside from the obvious need for a new coat of paint, I have completed a rough draft of the “presence” system. This system covers the star system that the player is in, the ability for…
