Google Analytics Add users via email to your account

If you have a web site these days, you had better be at least a little bit familiar with google analytics or some form of web analytics software. This helps you to track how people get to your site, and what they do when they get there.

One of the things you will need to do when and if you do a lot of tracking is to be able to share the analytics data with others or instruct others how to share that with you.

Google’s instructions come from the following: Add Users to google

Convert dot net invaders to html5

Convert dot net invaders to html5

UPDATE: Playable

UPDATE: Code Link

So, I wrote a dot net invaders clone and thought that I would try my hand at converting it into an html5 version using canvas, and the same cruddy graphics in the first version. The point of this blog, however, is not about graphics but instead of development. I hacked my way through a simple conversion at the start implementing some of the techniques I presented usage of in the render framework post. Then things turned ugly when I tried to implement inheritance. I was able to actually implement what I desired at first, but found some issues when creating multiple items using the same class seemed to use the same instance for a member object. This was undesireable, but I simply created a new “object” in the “constructor” with the same name and everything worked marvelously.

It is possible to do a great number of things in many different languages, and due to the popularity of the some of the particular features of javascript, it is also possible to do these in javascript. The trick is to figure out what is needed in terms of state, and logic, and provide a looping mechanism to make things happen on a regular basis. The particular thing that I am talking about here is rendering a frame – or essentially drawing a picture.

Breaking Down Space Invaders – A possible implementation in dot net

I have wanted to write a space invaders clone for a while, and thought to myself that it wasn’t really difficult at all, and I should write a blog about it. I am going to try and minimize the BS in order to keep the entry short enough and to the point.

Game Editor – Concepts of game creation

Game Editor – Concepts of game creation

Found a nifty little site and editor for assisting with simple game creation and editing. I played around a little bit with it, enough to make a cheap little pacman game. The editor is nice because there is minimal coding required to get up a game running quickly. The main issues in terms of rendering, timing, loading graphics etc. are taken care of you by the click of a mouse.

Dot Net html editor to image

While working on a commercial project, I was involved in providing a simple html rendering engine. Simple in terms of not being 100% complete, not necessarily in complexity. To help debug this, I created a sample app that demonstrates the workings of an html editor and the rendering in action.
