When Too Much Freedom is Too Much

Scopique December 9, 2021

I’m pretty sure I’ve written about this particular struggle before: while I can often grasp the mechanical concepts behind a New Thing, whether it’s coding or VFX or whatever, not having an idea of a “best practice” always throws me for a…

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…

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…

React and Colyseus – A Simple Client

Scopique May 16, 2021

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 – The Boring Preamble

Scopique May 12, 2021

Before I get to the code-y parts, I want to discuss a bit about the limitations of web browsers, how React works, and what Colyseus and Nodejs bring to the table. Note that I am not a “deep diver” and will not…

React and Colysus – The Journey Begins

Scopique May 12, 2021

Once more, into the breach. My other project has been put “on hold”, which is to say that it’s source has been squirreled away safely and I am now moving on to something else. Something similar, mind you, but something else entirely.…

React – What a Long Strange Trip, etc.

Scopique March 28, 2021

I thought everything would be sunshine and roses when I discovered Firebase and Firestore and a few tutorials on hooking it up to React. Turns out it made my project hell; I’ve created about 5 different new projects just to test various…
