Massive animated "Where's Waldo" or "Wimmelbook"-style world, endless cultural references. Pan and zoom, some items are clickable. One person has spent 10,000+ hours building this …

Looks like a Base64-encoded JS URI in the video player URL. Somewhat sneaky. How it ends up redirecting the page to a reblog URL isn't clear. https://gist.github.com/4196142

Thanks; I had fun working on this. The code is on github ( https://github.com/scottschiller/SURVIVOR ) for those interested. The level editor does horrible things with data in the …

Sorry it isn't more clear - by default, you get "non-scratch mode" until it's determined your GPU (hardware accel in browser) + CPU can handle the extra load. Once you opt in, loca…

I haven't touched this stuff since last October (boo), but I put it on Github in the hopes someone might find it useful (yay!) Currently distracted with other personal projects, bu…

That's in there also, yep. The prototype is aiming to recreate most of the usual tricks. It gets a bit hackish. Release TBD, hopefully soon. A teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?…

That looks like what people should be using these days; good stuff.

Thanks. I'm working on an article relating to that at the moment. Should be fun once it's out there (and on Github, etc.)

The next step would be to move to websockets on the client (and also node, yes), and eliminate the Flash dependency altogether. I personally prefer to work in HTML/CSS/JS entirely,…

Flash can load MP3s from remote domains, but it cannot read certain metadata (eg. ID3 tags, waveform/eq/spectrum data) unless granted permissions via a crossdomain.xml policy file.…

Solid pre-HTML5 JavaScript API for audio control via wrapping hidden Flash 8/9 movie. Check the canvas-based 360° player UI demo (also some waveform + spectrum data visualization f…

You'll need to whitelist that page within Flashblock, then it should work.

If you're loading the demo offline (ie., from the local file system via file:// or some such), Flash enforces strict (but good) security which doesn't allow JS and Flash to talk by…
