This is some amazing stuff. As a fan of emacs, but having no experience with javascript, I would like to be able to recreate this personally, and possibly use this as my training ground. I know the purpose of the post is to show a short video of something impressive, but could you consider providing the code samples and maybe even a guide of the code?

Regardless of whether you can or not, it truly is some amazingly impressive work. Thanks for sharing!

I wrote a little bit about installing swank-js a couple of posts up. You can also check out all my emacs-settings on github https://github.com/magnars/.emacs.d/blob/master/setup-slime-...

The only thing missing there is the packages installed through package.el, which would be slime-js in this case.

And here's the code for the bouncing ball: https://github.com/magnars/blockout

Cool, but how about the rest of the code, for the "game"?

That last link there is all there is of the "game" for now. :-)
