What Hacker News says
6 sourcesyeah, but that glitching is also something that makes the game more fun, cause if the ball gets enclosed into an area, you can try to glitch yourself out of it.
the very ugly MIT-like licensed code can be found here, and it is from a time when I thought it was fun to code my own little physics engine

In Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?Here is my contribution (a webapp, a.k.a. a website) http://lalo.li/lsd/ coded it years ago mostly drunk on an island in Thailand, I now like to play it again on my iPad with iPencil.
Github: https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/lsd (Warning: a single, dependency less CoffeeScript source file)
In Show HN: Tired of mobile games with IAP and ads, I made No-Bullshit Gameshi, OP here.
coded this game once upon a time for a viennajs (js meetup vienna) talk. added a little bit more game logic yesterday.
homegrown physics engine (buggy as you will find out) inspired to some degree on what i learned via http://annotated-code.maryrosecook.com/circles-bouncing-off-... (saw this on HN, decided that it should be a game)
issues:
* sometimes dot gets stuck on a line (strangely this happens more on mobile phones then on desktop)
* sometimes dot vanishes (i suspect a NaN error)
* on windows phone lines can not be drawn sticky (not a clue on how to debug this on a mac)
why did i do it:
* for the love of code
* i like simple games (this is another one of my games http://www.fullstackoptimization.com/bubbles/ )

In LSD – Line Square Dot GameThe goal is the one you make up for yourself, but basically get the dot into the square! Again and again and again!
Loosely based on http://annotated-code.maryrosecook.com/circles-bouncing-off-... which was on HN a few months ago.
See the source: https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/lsd - MIT
If you find a bug or want to improve it, you are welcome! If you want to "steal" the code and make something complete different with it, just do it. Want to make a native app, sell it for 99c and get a millionaire, go ahead.
