rot.js is a neat looking JS toolkit for making rogue-likes

TraceGL

TraceGL is really stepping up the game of JS debugging in the browser.

JSON Processing

nobody@domain.com (Cal Henderson) — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:00:00 +0000

If you're working with JSON on the command line, then I can highly recommend jq for simple data manipulation. It let's you mine into JSON data using an XPath-like query syntax and makes quick work of extracting the stuff you actually care about. The source is on the githubs.

Clippy

Clippy.js is a recreation of Microsoft Agent, better known in its default configuration as Clippy. I'd suggest a look though the source to see how it all works.

JavaScript meets BrainFuck

Patricio Palladino has done a really nice job with hieroglyphy, a library for turning any JavaScript code into strings of only ()[]{}!+. The explanation of his blog is a great read.

reveal.js

Perhaps next time I'm writing a presentation, I'll give reveal.js a try. Some of the examples looks pretty good.

Javelin JS

Javelin JS is full of interesting little things - always fun to find out what compormises other teams make to allow their particular development model to scale. The css classes vs sigils part makes a lot of sense.

More Underground Maps

Andrew Godwin has just released an excellent mapping project, visualizing a few London Underground stations, complete with public corridors, escalators, spiral staircases and platforms. The maps are 3D models, which you can pan and zoom inside the browser. Digging into the source is also worth a look, since it uses some nice canvas and three.js guts.

Poking around his other work, the Twin Tubes map is also worth a look - the underground network with each individual track visualized.
