Web Development


Date : August 2017

Found a way better way to make the multiplayer tic tac toe game. Instead of using ajax and php calls (which are way too complex), Use Socket.io and Node.js.

Socket programming enables to simulate server-client mechanism which solves the problem to a great deal.

Configured the project with socket.io and now a game over web can be played. It is still restricted to only two players at a time, and players have to wait until one game finishes.

Updated the website to prevent users from staying idle for too long. The technique is simple. Use AJAX in a setInterval javascript function, that sends a request to a php file, containing the username of the user. The php file checks if the user exists in the database of online users (which is updated every 5 minutes). If user doesn't exists there, alert them about the timeout, and refresh the page.

Till now, updated the website to enable same computer multiplayer tic-tac-toe using AJAX, PHP, JavaScript and MySQL. The website is hosted on dlinkddns, and the server resides on the personal computer.

Multiplayer Pong Game Today, Started building Socket.io based Multiplayer Pong Game. Basic Table Hockey style where you can play against an opponent over the web. Simplistic design using HTML5 canvas, and  JavaScript for building the logic. Update : Implemented the Movement of the bat, using Event Listeners for getting the mouse position as the mouse moves over the canvas. Update : Implemented the bouncing effect on ball. Using setInterval for updating position of ball, and whenever the position gets par the threshold, update the ball velocity to being the negative of the current value (in x direction if hitting on right or left threshold and in y direction if hitting on top or bottom threshold).

Interesting Projects for Computer Science Enthusiasts

This is the question that every novice programmer asks himself most of the time. What should I do now? I want to get my hands dirty with programming, I want to learn new things, I want to tackle tough projects etc. But there is always an empty answer. Don't worry though! Here is a list of cool Projects (in no specific order) that you can work on, learning new languages and satisfying the inner programmer. (Note: This projects are listed keeping in mind that the reader has a good command over basic syntax and usage of any programming language.) 1. Develop a simple game    Try building some basic command line based game like Anagram game, Tic Tac Toe etc. Implement the logic and keep making the interface better.  If you are fed up of command line, try using Netbeans IDE and Swing API to develop more User Friendly version of the same game. 2. Create a personal web server Using Apache web server, host your own server on your computer. Develop Applica...
