edit: In case it's not obvious, that's the in-game music - it's not playing externally or overlaid. The little song-changer at the bottom-right is in-game.

Thank you, most of the charts are currently powered by Highcharts with a few being drawn by Jquery Sparkline. I have been playing with D3 and Flot for a while and may switch everything over to them.

If you haven't seen it Datavisualization.ch is worth checking out-- its a grid of different visualization libraries, it may not be all inclusive but it's pretty cool.

Spongebob Squarepants had a really low budget for the first few seasons and didn't have an in-house composer. They used stock production music for most everything.

Really cool stuff man. Thanks for that data visualizations link, lots of libraries in there I had never heard of. I'm working on my first real Python project that has a similar looking stack. Who are you using for hosting? How do you handle deployment of a new version? Was there a particular reason for Django over Pylons/CherryPy/Flask/etc? How come both MongoDB and Redis? They seem like they solve a similar problem but I'm not terribly familiar with them.

Also, are you monetizing this thing at all, or is it more of a hobby/labor of love? It looks so slick and professional, the folks over at CCP Games must have been pretty impressed if they've seen this.

Welp. Not sure if this is the right thread, but since we don't have a general projects thread, I'll stick it here.

I've got a lot of free time coming up, so I can get back to making cool poo poo. Anyone want to throw some specific suggestions for (what you think is) cool stuff to work on at me? I'm wide open.

Bonus points if the project is something that easily lends itself to cool screenshots, like a ray-tracer. Except I'm a little burnt out on ray-tracing and general graphics-for-graphics-sake stuff right now. Unless it's really cool and/or somewhat ridiculous, like if I could somehow manage to pull off real-time ray-tracing in javascript or something.

I've spent some time studying graphics for ray-tracing over the past couple of years. Probably no more than the equivalent of one introductory graphics course, though. I'd kind of like to dive into another area of computer science, so bonus points for something that would let me do that.

I've always kind of wanted to learn about data-mining, but then I couldn't figure out where to get data that I was interested in doing anything with. :s

I have no idea how compilers work, so I guess trying to build one might be fun, too.

I've got a game I want to make but the process of making games isn't really fun like the process of building a ray-tracer.

I'd just like to be aware of as many possibilities as possible (heh).

How do you handle deployment of a new version?

All of the code is in a private git repo. I pull changes from the dev branch when they are ready.

fletcher posted:

Was there a particular reason for Django over Pylons/CherryPy/Flask/etc?

I start most new projects with Flask because its ease-of-use and low start up effort.
In this case I knew I was going to need more sophisticated user handling, sessions, and many of the other batteries-included features of Django.

fletcher posted:

How come both MongoDB and Redis? They seem like they solve a similar problem but I'm not terribly familiar with them.

Right now I am using redis mostly for its pub/sub features (as the message broker for a celery queue). Mongodb is disk backed where as Redis is memory based; My main dataset is too large to fit into memory (+16GB) so Mongodb was the choice I went with. Redis is making a great memcached replacement though.

fletcher posted:

Also, are you monetizing this thing at all, or is it more of a hobby/labor of love?

When I started this I was thinking of it more as a portfolio piece, but I have started looking at the various ways I can monetize it.

They haven't seen it yet as far as I know; I have only sent links/screenshots to goons so far- on this forum and the Eve specific one. I hope to make it more public once I finish up a few features and let a round of beta testers break things.

Apparently the 40% off remains for the week after so you can go grab other books for a cheaper prize than usual after that.

Damn that's a

So I've been working on a personal organiser that uses Getting Things Done principles, it has note taking, calendars, projects and tasks. This is a proof of concept that is entirely offline based using HTML5. It'll cache the whole website so you can take it offline, and the only functionality you'll lose is the embedded Google Maps and Directions.

The unique aspect of it is how you enter information into the system. All input is done through the same text entry system, the app parses the text to turn it into calendar entries, projects and next actions. Here's an example:



It's not exactly conventional, which is why I've built a proof of concept to get feedback and see whether it's the kind of thing people would use. Personally I've been using it for real while developing it, and it feels pretty good being able to enter information without switching contexts all the time, and just see it self organize actions using @Contexts, #Topics and +Contacts.

I'm making the prototype freely available at http://elephantneverforgets.com.au if you want to have a play with it. At this point it's only Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, due to the storage medium I'm using to keep everything on the browser. That wouldn't be the case when I build a commercial release product.
