awy

Hello, author here. Thanks a lot for reading my post!

A few things to clarify:

- indeed I am now in London, but have very fond memories of life in Germany and still enjoy practicing my German

- I took a US keyboard layout to work, which made things fine except for when I was on the laptop only (some keys are different shapes as well)

- I found it amusing the comments about the German trains. I will confirm that the standard was pretty low in Australia :P (hopefully that's going to get better)

- the impracticality of 4 seats and 2 doors in the car was meant to imply that it means it's more difficult to put people in the rear seats in this configuration

- thanks for the corrections on train speeds and naming of the ground floor, I'll fix that

Let me know if there's any other corrections I should make, anything I missed or should expand on.

Hello, author here.

I actually brought a US keyboard which made life much easier. It was only ever a pain to type on the laptop's keyboard, which luckily was quite rare.

I lived in London for all of 2 weeks before this happened to me. It's pretty frequent in the Islington and Angel areas. Be careful.

querySelector() will get you one element, otherwise you can use something like

Array.from(querySelectorAll('*')).forEach()

It is a little more cumbersome.

There was a DOM2Canvas library at some stage, though it wasn't perfect and it couldn't render images (for security reasons).

I have a heap on my plate right now but will hope to do part 2 before the end of the year. Glad you enjoyed it.

I recently posted about emulating the NES with JavaScript.

Part 2 will be posted when it's done. :)

If you want to get something done much quicker, have a go at emulating the Chip-8 VM.

I also have a post, but it's less hand-holding than the first.

Good luck!

`contenteditable` has a lot of issues once you go past casual text editing. Sounds like it's doing something similar to Google Docs (using the browser simply as a dumb renderer, and doing a lot of the calculations/layout in JavaScript).

I'm pretty sure those flip things don't like to go backwards. So I'd assume an unlike would just freeze the number and absorb the next like.

I wrote a post about creating a Chip-8 emulator in JavaScript, if JS is your thing.

I worked on a project that does this.

It's pretty simple to set up and write the widgets.

Also a great relevant read:

How MOS 6502 Illegal Opcodes really work http://www.pagetable.com/?p=39

I just finished a 6502 emulator, I recommend doing it for everyone. Lots of fun and very interesting.
