Google Ports Box2D Demo To Dart
mikejuk writes with an excerpt from an article at i-programmer about a neat graphics demo written in Dart: "One of the difficulties in getting a new computer language accepted by a wider audience is that there is doubt that it is real. Is it a toy language that just proves a concept or can it do real work? In the case of Dart, which is Google's replacement for JavaScript, the development is speeding ahead at a rate that is impressive but worrying. To prove that Dart is already a language that can be used, we now have a port of the well known 2D physics engine Box2D, the one Angry Birds uses, to Dart."
Box2D has previously been ported to Javascript. Source is available at Google Code (under the Apache license). Note that you'll need Chromium to run the demos.
No, but posting the same astroturfing propaganda based on the same script sure does. See this post from Overly Critical Guy [slashdot.org] and compare it to this post by bonch [slashdot.org].
And bonch and Overly Critical Guy are only a couple of user accounts. Slashdot is packed with dozens of professional shills tryint go sway public opinion to a more favourable position towards their employers.
Slashdot, fix your code or at least hire someone who is competent at it to do it for you.
No, but I sure notice similarities between this post and this post. You're the troll who has been anonymously accusing people of being shills, and now you've created some psychotic "list" of accounts.
Get a life.
