It's time to created a HTML game with a more efficient background. As it stands I have already created an effective way to display my icy landscape with the actual game load on top of the canvas. Making it so I don't have to clear the whole canvas to create animations.This is a great improvement verse what I had before,  it was a much bigger image and had everything inside it. So moving from there I separated the side borders and split them into two images. Using a Div around my canvas tag I set the left image as the background and the second image on the canvas tag itself. This was not enough I now wanted to see if I could use a single image flipped horizontally for the other side. The Setup < div id = "game" > < canvas id = "window" > Sorry but Canvas is not Supported </ canvas > </ div > First Attempt Doing some research I found a way to flip background image. The problem was the flip effecting both images and trying

I have created multiple modules within the Orchard CMS framework and even setup complete systems that have helped maintain internal data but after all that I still had a question for myself. Can I use Orchard for a project where Orchard was not the focus of the application and integrated with existing applications. So in other words Orchard was an extension or a sub application.

This is a short article but important for my case since I have a lot of files that I do not want to release with the final production of my app. My assumption at first was that if your "app.yaml" file does not contain a handler for the specified a file or folder it would by simply ignore it but  does not seem to be the case.

This article is from the experience I gain while setting out to complete my capstone and a point in time where I was exploring that ways to manage a team. I also wanted to help move things forward with the process for the team to code rather than spending more time on design. My capstone was along the side with three other colleagues and we did not all have the same idea with what systems or tools should be in place to help us achieve our tasks. Still after the fourth change of repository system in my team, I figured it was time that I took charge and started making changes for the better with my suggestion to use TFS.

At first when I started researching thi

The problem was that when I went to check in changes with Visual Studio, it would report back saying I did not have permission. I knew it couldn't have been the TFS setup because I had everything configured straight forward for a single user which was just me and I know it was fine since it was working a few days ago. The only thing that changed on my machine was the that I lost access to my domain account that I was working with. So I created a second account that has administrative permissions, which might have lead me to this problem.

While cleaning up some code in the webconfigs of an Asp.net MVC application I came across a line of code to which I had no knowledge of and even more so was showing up as an error.  I asked myself was it's purpose and most of all why was the Intellisense saying "The 'inheritInChildApplications' attribute is not allowed."?

For the most part I have already done a lot of the work for this and this has always been something in my practice to do. In the past what I have done is render all javascripts at the bottom of the page and all styles at the top inside the header. However with this application and since so much of my code is customized and mineralized, I believe I have a small issue with the Jquery taking up more time than the css to load. So Close to 100/100!
