Yeah I recently discovered enet through Emscripten (which emulates UDP on top of SCTP. SCTP is the protocol used by WebRTC and supports reliable and unreliable packets like enet and RakNet, though I believe Emscripten's UDP emulation only uses it in unreliable mode (since UDP is unreliable).
Apparently SCTP can be tunnelled over UDP if native support is unavailable (which seems very likely), which means I've ended up with the crazy stack of:
enet, which uses UDP which is emulated using SCTP which is tunnelled through UDP.
Crazy but it works. Bring on the real time web games!
So, word wrap? This is the same stupid argument that pro-spaces people make in the tabs-vs-spaces argument - that you have to use spaces (or hard line breaks) so that you can force your ideal indent size (or line length) on other people.
Just accept the other people have different preferences, and tabs and soft word-wrapping enables them to use their preference. If you don't then you're being selfish really.
Yeah BLE uses about 12 mA while transmitting or receiving. But it does not do that continuously. Its average power consumption can be under 100 uA very easily.
However, there's no way you'd get even 100 uA by harvesting RF energy in a package that small.
Yeah it actually makes sense from a physics point of view. All the fancy reflective angles on the stealth plane won't do anything if the wave is longer than they are. "Small" things all look the same in terms of wave reflections.
The radar-absorbing paint may do something (or at least it could in theory). And long-wave radars are naturally going to bigger and more inconvenient than short-wave.
I've never really thought about it, but I think he might be right!
I think this must be a standard ARM thing. The nRF51822 Cortex M0 (with BLE) from Nordic can do something very similar.
They call it PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interface). All the peripherals (timers, ports, low power comparator, even a quadrature decoder) have "events" and "tasks" and you can wire them up as you please. It's pretty neat. Doesn't have any op-amps or capacitative sensing circuits though.
You don't have to write in low-level C. You can write in high level C++, which is vastly preferable to javascript! Or hell, why not write in Lua! It's what this apparently transpiles to, and is much nicer.
The only reason javascript became popular is because it was the only option on the web. Why does that mean we would want to use it when we have better options?
"Turing test proves that 30% of judges are actually computers."
A recent Turing test at Reading University backfired after it was discovered that nearly a third of the apparently human judges were discovered to be less intelligent than a ZX Spectrum. Suspicions were raised when they were unable to carry on sophisticated conversations with the programs being tested and instead nattered on about banal topics such as their job, popular music, and another thing.
This seems like a good place to ask: Does anyone know of a library (preferably C++/Emscripten) that simplifies using WebRTC to create real time network games?
Yeah I saw a card with a screen demoed ages ago which generated one-time-use credit card numbers (or something like that), which is surely the way it should be done. It's so crazy that once I've given someone some numbers they can just take money from me.
