The kickoff of the Advance Hackathon 2012 was pretty amazing. Great people and high motivation to work on stuff. After various discussions with other participants I made the roadmap for this weekend. The focus will go to enhancing the LuaCrumbs-framework.
1. Work on the core-architecture and getting deeper into Lua
The Lua-language is very easy to learn, but not that easy to master. A take the opportunity to dig deeper into more advanced Lua-techniques. The blog at www.corsix.org got some very interesting writings about Lua.
2. Enhance the visualization-(preview)-module
Talking about enhancements of the core-architecture is not that thrilling to show-off to the other participants. That’s why I want to work on the html-(preview)-module of LuaCrumbs. Make it 3D and maybe animated. Processing.js or three.js could be my weapon of choice to archive the desired results.
PS: Feel free, to visit the Dingfabrik – it is located right next to the Advanced Hackathon.
PPS: Pastebin.com is still extremely useful for porting working code from one machine to the other.
PPPS: If there are some people interested in a “Lua user group” in Cologne and surroundings, feel free to contact me! UPDATE: I started a quick user group on Facebook – let’s see what the Lua User Group Cologne will develop into.
