This Twitch session comes on the heels of releasing the Phonon 3D plugin for Unreal Engine 4. In the video, I go over how to get 3D audio up and running in a simple Blueprint project.
Note that at the end I get a little confused by the audio settings. For the record, I was right in the first instance: you can mix HRTF and panning in a single scene.
Thanks to @anishchandak and @LakulishAntani for all the great feedback before the live stream. Hoping to do more in the future!
“People tend to treat writing with real austerity. There’s a lot of, ‘I dressed for writing and went to my writing spot,’ and it’s like ‘What the fuck are you talking about? This is a nightmare!’ Writing is a nightmare.” – Amy Poehler
Producing large volumes of quality writing is a grueling process. Fortunately, there are some methods that can ease the pain. In the last few years, having a looming paper deadline has become the norm. In an effort to save my sanity, I adopted three methods that paid off significantly: narration, using a typewriter, and building a writing repository.
Gave a lunch and learn today on AngularJS with TypeScript. The talk covered a brief history of static typing (ECMA4, ActionScript), some contemporary projects (Flow, AtScript), and how Angular2.0’s default language is TypeScript. The second half is a brief tutorial on how to write services, controllers, and directives.
You should be using ui-router to organize your AngularJS application’s UI, even if you do not expose corresponding URLs. The name ui-router is misleading: its real power is organizing your UI into named, nested, or parallel views. The state concept offers a higher-level alternative to using ng-include and ng-controller, and is more suited to modeling large areas of the UI than custom directives.
