I have been experimenting with making node.js applications that I can then deploy to Heroku lately. Heroku is a great way to host a node.js app up on the web for free, so there is no pressure when it comes to spending money each month just to host some simple hobby, test, or demo app.
When making some kind of full stack node.js application I will want to have some kind of way to make it so I can have at least something that can work as user accounts. Maybe it would be best to have some kind of system that authenticates by way of doing something with oAuth, but maybe not, maybe I just want some kind of basic user id system, I see some projects that do that.
I have heard a lot of great things about heroku when it comes to hosting a node.js project, so I thought I would check them out. I would like to get into writing full stack applications more, and have them up an running on the web. Whats great about heroku is that i have found it easy to use, and has a great free plain, if you are like me and just starting out with hobby apps.
I have only made two other posts where I write about game development ideas, all the way back in March of last year was the last time I wrote a post in my games category. Maybe part of the reason why is because part of me sees no future in it for me, as such I should focus elsewhere. However the main reason why I got into programing in the first place is to be creative in that regard, also it is important to have fun now and then, so maybe it’s time for another one of these kinds of posts.
I have been making a new project as of late that makes use of phaser as a dependency, and came across something that I think might be worth a quick post. It has to do with setting a point that is to be a point at which a display object is to rotate. That is when I set the angle property of a display object I want to set the point at which the rotation is to occur. To do this I will want to make use of the pivot object.
