I was attempting to add a cracked windshield to the player tank in my Battlezone remake built in Javascript. I wanted to built the crack procedurally and it's "working". But it's not very believable as a cracked windshield just yet. I was able to add a pretty cool effect that shakes the screen but, the cracked windshield currently either resembles fractured rock or in many cases modern art.
Many websites have an animation of some kind running on the homepage. My website is no exception however, I like to experiment with different animations and such and I am sure I will want to regularly swap them out. I could simply dump in a new file whenever I want to make a change but, I like to design things that are a little more elegant. Something that might be used by other people in the real world. So, I built this simple module.
Our team was tasked with building a new website for a non-profit organization in Riverside for local authors known as the Inlandia Institute. The previous website was built on vanilla PHP with a custom CMS. The website had a few hundred authors and subsequently a few thousand associated books.
The CMS was limited and difficult to use and for this reason the owners had rarely used it.
My task was to:
For a time I was working on an MLS plugin for a real estate website company and I had previously began grouping functions I would use regularly and classes, etc...
I decided to build a framework add-on for Wordpress. The result was a plugin I called Droplet. ( I was completely unaware of Drop-ins at the time ).
I was working recently on building an abstraction for IndexedDB in Javascript and as I was building I was thinking ahead about building queries. I have only just begun using the feature and so I haven't really delved into retrieving data as it refers to searching. Regardless, I was thinking about building a simple SQL type language. This is really impractical of course but, the thought crossed my mind for a second. It passed quickly mainly because I would be evaluating a string and accessing a database.
Just playing around with using SVG for web animation versus Canvas.
I see some interesting things built using Green Sock that I think I can reproduce myself.
Maybe I will add SVG support as an out-of-the-box feature in Wes Mantooth.
This exercise is based on the solution found at Google Life's YouTube channel. Admittedly, I was pulling my hair out for a bit on this one.
The question asks the programmer to find an efficient way to find two numbers in a sequence that add up to a number.
This project was "a little" bit more difficult than the last project...but, not much. I have a feeling this could be done more efficiently however, I am not entirely sure how...I'll revisit this some other time.
So,..I'm just following some of those YouTube videos describing various Google job interview tech questions and decided to see if I could reproduce them myself.
Fro my own experience I know that these questions are generally less about actually getting the question correct as much as how a developer approaches a problem...What they know about coding in order to approach the problem and how to ask questions to approach the problem.
The Spotya! Your Data Manager was a CRM I built in PHP using the Codeigniter framework. It was fully featured allowing customers to view their website analytics as well as create reports, sort and track customers based on their needs and more. The customer could either log into an interface that allowed them to switch between websites or they could view a light version of the interface on their website.
