It's actually the audio tag: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html

That was a fun contest. I entered a game called Onslaught!, check it out :)

I posted an article a while back about a DHTML engine I put on GitHub. I included an example game called Bombada that's also on GitHub. Note: the engine isn't "HTML5" per se (which is becoming more of a buzzword than makes sense) and I've moved on to a canvas engine (which will someday also be open source).

Even better, there was recently a game development contest on Boing Boing which saw 9 pretty cool entires. Ours was called Onslaught! and was written in JavaScript using canvas (though it does fall back to flash for audio).

I've got some substantial experience writing games in JavaScript and HTML5. To me, the biggest hurdle right now is audio. Somebody mentioned the inability to go fullscreen, and while I've seen that handled by the video tag, to me it's not as big a problem as the audio tag being basically unusable for gaming purposes.

I used to use Qwit before I found Pino, and in its status bar it showed you how many requests you had remaining. I only ever remember seeing it show ~150 at the most (presumably it used a load up in its initial loading, then I missed the rest) and I don't think I ever got below 100, even when jumping back through all of the pages of results I'd missed.

Seriously, what are you doing that needs to be updated so frequently and urgently that you're needing the equivalent of a refresh per second?!? Even if you've got lots of lists you follow, that's still a crazy refresh rate.

I recommend checking out the list of participating organizations in Google's Summer of Code program. http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2010 All of the projects are active, legit and looking for new participants.

The entirety of the game state should be stored on the server and all user inputs should be validated on the server.

Actually, there's a really nifty trick you can do: make the client store your data for you, but signed with your key. That scales cleanly with the number of clients and keeps the security.

You can expect that if people are going to get the source code, then they're going to set up their own instances and then run a standard web security scanner on it. You can do that first. Skipfish will hammer on your site though you get to read piles of documentation to use it. Ratproxy has the same idea except that it acts as a transparent proxy while you use your site, and has very little setup.

If you're serious about web app security, look at Jarlsberg. It's not a tool, it's a lesson.

If you pay a qualified expert, they ought to be able to point you in the right direction. I would want to meet them physically though.

That story you mention sounds like the Jarlsberg one. The idea is you learn to secure your web application by exploiting a demonstrably weak one, so you learn your lesson. If you have the time, I definitely recommend working through it all. (story Jarlsberg homepage)

Another area to look at is simply your web server configuration. Your web application never runs in isolation. You have databases, web servers, sever side languages and other web applications that you use that are exploitable. Try to do as much checking as you scan for any obvious flaws, use tools to help you.

Run configuration file scanners for Apache, PHP*. Although I must stress I have not tried any of these, I just know they exist. I found these by just searching 'php scanner' and 'apache configuration scanner'.

Obviously they do not replace simply being careful or a whitehat's opinion and not trusting tools blindly. (A black hat probably doesn't release all his tools) Also try some generic vulnerability scanners which look for insecure installations that your web host may have installed like web mail and phpMyAdmin.

Just remember the environment.

http://jarlsberg.appspot.com//saveprofile?action=new&uid=lol&pw=cats&is_author=True&is_admin=True *sigh*, I was expecting more of a challenge from the big G.

AppEngine will start a new instance of Jarlsberg for you, assign it a unique id ... http://jarlsberg.appspot.com/123/ (where 123 is your unique id). If you want to share your instance of Jarlsberg, just share the full URL with them including your unique id.

...it is possible to put your Jarlsberg instance into a state where it is completely unusable. If that happens, you can push a magic "reset button" to wipe out all the data in your instance and start from scratch. To do this, visit this URL with your instance id: http://jarlsberg.appspot.com/resetbutton/123

I think I've spotted a vulnerability:

$griefingIsFun = 0;
while (1)
get("http://jarlsberg.appspot.com/resetbutton/" . $griefingIsFun++);

Well I used to think that. There's one problem I encountered, which is that gzipped, optimized JavaScript is mindblowingly concise compared to most other forms of compiled code. You can fit a staggering amount of functionality in only a kilobyte of this stuff.

This may sound absurd, but try it for yourself. Write a piece of JavaScript to do something generic and non-platform dependent like calculate MD5. Run it through the Closure Compiler which is the same tool that Google uses to optimize and check its JavaScript. It will tell you the gzipped size. For a simple MD5 impl I got off the web, it boils down to 1.4kb gzipped. Now try compiling and gzipping a C implementation and a Java .class file. In both cases the result was about 5kb - that's a pretty big blowup! JavaScript has the advantage of having a basically overhead-free yet semantically very rich format: source code. Other languages compile down to quite complicated header formats that are full of version identifiers and symbol names.

Given that modern browsers like Chrome convert your JavaScript to native code anyway, it may well make sense to slash your code size by using JavaScript and take the better loading times along with a hit on runtime performance.

An interested person might start here: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/

This is interesting reading: http://socghop.appspot.com/

Whatever your interest is in open source, try googling it. Not everything in the labs is open source, but some is - check that out: http://www.googlelabs.com/

Want code to play with? You'll get more from Google than you'll EVER get from Microsoft. Maybe I exxagerated with the word "most" - but they have given away a lot of stuff, and they help with a lot more. One of the things you'll see when you click the links above is Gnome. They contribute, but, of course, Gnome doesn't belong to Google - that capital "g" is just coincidental.

So, go look around.

I remember reading the request was for "Support HTML5 open web video with open formats" not just "Support HTML5"

So now we have HTML5 with a closed video format which Firefox and other free browsers are never likely to support.

We've already seen comments on how Adobe is beginning to use the GPU for video decoding. So, remind me, how this is any better than the existing situation with Flash?

I'm in full support of Dirac, and there is an idea posted: http://productideas.appspot.com/#9/e=3d60a&t=dirac

too bad they still haven't answered to the highest-voted data liberation suggestion ;)
http://moderator.appspot.com/#15/e=43649&t=4364a

Dude. It’s a website. Simply use this thing here for the javascript: http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home
(And render all HTML by use of JS/DOM generation.)

There are also a few implementations of Smalltalk using Javascript:

http://gwt-smalltalk.appspot.com/

http://clamato.net/

http://tinlizzie.org/ometa/ometa-js-old/

But there's not a lot point exporting the data if you don't have the rights to use it.
That's what the top-ranked Data Liberation suggestion is talking about - great that we can get the data out; but now allow us to use it elsewhere without fear of being sued for breach of copyrighted.

The highest rated suggestion - over a thousand votes - on the data liberation site is about Google Maps.

Specifically - the rather loose definition of what we can and can't do with the data.

http://moderator.appspot.com/#15/e=43649&t=4364a

You can extract a kml from a my-maps thing you've drawn on top of googles satellite imagery easily.

But what can you do with this?

Google have made vague and unclear statements that 'bulk' use is not allowed - without saying what this is.

Yahoos terms and conditions allow uses like this, and much of OpenStreetMap has been helped by this for example - people able to trace streets, streams, and ...

But the license for data derived from maps is still unclear - can I for example take a list of 3000 river crossings from google, crowdsource how easy they are to get across with a 4x4 or a donkey, and then publish this list?

And if I sell the list, or publish a book of maps using this data combined with openstreetmap data?

Bret Taylor says:

When we started, we did use Twisted. In practice, I found Twisted tedious. The deferred abstraction works, but I didn't love it in practice. Likewise, the HTTP/web support in Twisted is very chaotic (see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WebDevelopment ... - even they acknowledge this). In general, it seems like Twisted is full of demo-quality stuff, but most of the protocols have tons of bugs.
Given all those factors, it didn't seem to provide a lot of value. Our core I/O loop is actually pretty small and simple, and I think resulted in fewer bugs than would have come up if we had used Twisted.

You might be interested in an upcoming debate entitled Which Open Source Licence is best? being held by the Free and Open Source Learning Centre. You can register and pose questions with the moderator (javascript required) but be quick I think the last day for that is tomorrow..

Actually found one:

Bleachbit - http://bleachbit-project.appspot.com/

Open-Source and for Linux and Windows.

Still would love to find a command-line version of something like it to run on shutdown and/or from cron.

BleachBit is an open source cleaner for Linux and Windows. It cleans Flash cookies and 50 other items.

... You have to busy wait meaning 100% CPU usage. [JS doesn't have a] built in sleep function that relinquishes control for so many milliseconds is something that's been a basic part of scripting languages for decades. HORRIBLE.

How does this work without eating my CPU?

A good place to start is the IRC channel for a project. Especially during the summer, since the organizations in Summer of Code will have idea lists up with many many unclaimed ideas. The org I'm working for this summer is Thousand Parsec ( http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Ideas_for_Programmers ), but you can find other idea pages here: http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009

There are plenty of ways to store data inexpensively in a RDBMS. There are plenty of GPL and low cost RDBMS available.

The real issue is that the more and more we move into complex data structures and we push the limits of what an ORM can do with those simple, inexpensive RDBMS, the more problems we run into trying to map our objects into rows in tables.

Here is one of the more interesting solutions that I've seen to the problem, but it only work over relatively simplistic data where managing indexes by hand is ok, and it's okay for the indexes to be incomplete at any given moment. Ironically, that gives them more availability than trying to force MySQL to do indexes. But it really depends on the data and needs.

OpenStreetMap currently has a Summer of Code project to put OSM on the Android.

Google is using a code review tool called Mondrian. It was originally written by Guido van Rossum (Python's creator).
He created an open source clone to be used with Subversion, Rietveld:

These tools are great but they are only as good as the guidelines for the reviews. Some reviewers will always say yes to requests, while others will be too anal. What happens? Most people will avoid strict reviewers and send their code to the easy ones. Doing a good review takes time so there need to be incentives to give good reviews: if you spend 2-3hs doing reviews in a day you just lost 25% productivity on your code, while helping an other developer write better code. Overall it's better for the team and the company but can actually hurt the perceived performance of your better developers while in fact they're pulling everyone else up. Just make sure good reviewers are getting as much recognition as good/productive code writers. Same thing goes with lenient reviewers, they should share the blame when bad code they reviewed brake the build. If you don't understand the new code, then it needs to be re-factored by the submitter to improve readability or you are not the right person to do the review.
