I submitted my js1k demo just now. It's called "Xcode - a CoreWars engine" and implements RedCode, a minimal instruction set to play CoreWars. CoreWars is a game from 1984 (when what you can render in a JS1k now wouldn't even render with a seven stor...
We relocated from NL to the UK about a year ago. This was a big leap into the big unknown, to say the least. Here are some takeaways from that experience. Some of it will appeal more to people from NL, other things will be pretty generic. Hope it hel...
I had a parser project with three main files that I wanted to turn into an html repl. This was initially a nodejs project and so I needed to make things work in the browser now, too. I decided to try experimentally supported es-modules which uses the...
As you may or may not have noticed I like playing Hearthstone. I'll spare you the details. One thing I've been wanting to do for a while now is to create a simulator where you can simulate certain conditions. One in particular is drawing odds. And th...

Wow how time flies. Did you know the next JS1k will be the tenth year (!!) to run this competition. That's [i]amazing[/i]. To celebrate this I figured we should go all in so for the next edition the whole thing will be themed around ten. This mean...
I've been using my Asus Zenbook for about a year and a half now. And while I'm still happy with the choice back then, I'm very disappointed with Asus. I feel they could be more pro-active in getting linux support for this particular touchpad. It's re...
Today I was trying to solve a parsing problem with regular expressions. Yes, I know. Moving on, the regular expression should be able to skip JS strings and then check for a particular character afterwards. I had that working fine but when I was tryi...
