Hi. I updated the article to include a bit more information on registers/branches, and an example on the github with a loop. I wanted to leave the registers (or well the instructions for moving/setting registers) as an exercise for the reader to see if they could implement it themselves :)


Now that is a sexy landing page


Maybe, you could do it like gource. It shows a tree of your project structure that you can print off? I think that sounds pretty cool, and might be a bit quicker to generate.

Ehh, it's an interesting Idea, not a big fan though to be honest. It's too striking and the cursors are huge. It will probably be like the next scroll tag, a way people can make shit appear in your face and it will just get abused.


Cursor size can change, but it's a non-interesting idea that people thought was cool in 1998 and learned otherwise.


Yup, this is pretty common mistake when people do these timers. Also note in the JS it set the date to `var date = new Date(2015, 01, 01);` i.e New Years Day. So it's not some message that it will be back up in 30 days or anything like that :(


Try make something that interests you, see how you would go around implementing it. If you're stuck with a feature, google it. Then see how you did against the "proper" way of doing something, and maybe adapt your code to use the "proper" method. By proper, I mean that it's a more efficient way to do something than to hack it together and have it just about work.

You've learnt the language and the syntax, but it's the experience of just doing something that counts is where it's at! Good luck :)


Not OP here, but I think it more resembles the old rotary telephone things.


Yes, rotary telephones :)
