bazookaBen··on Webshell.io
you need an "up" key to repeat the last api call.
bazookaBen··on Glitch Is Closing
MMOs are difficult. It's a pretty daring endeavor, considering that Tiny Speck raised $5m in 2009 for just this one game.

bazookaBen··on Show HN: LearnStreet - The Best Place to Learn How to Code
here's a suggestion: start immediately with a cool project, like a game or a web server.

Beats the "here's 2+2" type problems.

bazookaBen··on The Ludum Dare October Challenge: Finish a game, Take it to market, Earn $1
this leaves the space open for anyone who wants to start a different type of game-hackathon.
bazookaBen··on Show HN: My one-sided anonymous chat startup reached 500K+ members virally
mobile version works pretty well. This fb virality thing is nuts.

are ads enough to support your operational costs? Any more ideas moving forward?

i think there's some potential in anonymous feedback for large brands. Build a business development team and go after them.

bazookaBen··on The only two ways to build a $100m business
what about having a 5 million/yr revenue run rate. With "valuation" multiples of 20s, you can get to a value of $100 million.
bazookaBen··on Hacker News Tokyo Japan Meetup #16 – Thursday 27th of September, 2012
any meetups planned in October? Which website should I check out for events?
bazookaBen··on Applications Open for Winter 2013 YC Funding
you can also incorporate before applying (if you're serious about the idea). Use services like LegalZoom, they cost around $300-$600.

In the event that you do get into YC, or raise 5-6 figures of seed money, you can always go to a lawyer and reissue stock certs, articles of incorporation, etc.

bazookaBen··on Ask HN: Why am I getting ads on HN?
localhosts: check

i suspect it's the free WiFis that require you to comply with their terms and conditions. They probably catch the traffic and inject text ads into the HTML, which arguably is quite clever and malicious.

i'll get more data to confirm this

bazookaBen··on Things I do to be consistently happy
i get happy when things "connect" in my head. It's a rush.
bazookaBen··on Ask HN: How to test a localhost (desktop) from mobile?

also found Drive-In, which runs on Apache+PHP https://github.com/scottjehl/Drive-In
bazookaBen··on Ask HN: How to test a localhost (desktop) from mobile?
SHIM looks pretty promising, and runs on nodeJS https://github.com/marstall/shim

Any non-nodeJS alternatives?

bazookaBen··on Show HN: Open Sourcing my HTML5 Multiplayer Game Engine
one thing i learned abt making games is to limit the game space, and user input. Foster a healthy community first, then introduce freedom.
bazookaBen··on Mobile app startups are failing like it’s 1999
what're your thoughts on HTML5 games? Since you're so invested in so many apps across multiple platforms, there has to be some thought on a cross-platform strategy. Any way I can reach you directly?
bazookaBen··on Ask HN: Cofounder conflict, startup dying or dead for a long time already?
what kind of a co-founder "protects" his contacts from a fellow co-founder? Dysfunctional relationship at best. Cut him off, take everything you've built and go somewhere else. He's got nothing legal against you.

Then start learning abt VC, meeting people, and cutting deals by yourself. It's not that hard.

bazookaBen··on Ask HN: Developers: How do you explain to people what it is you do?
i tell them "I make mobile games", in which case 99% of the time, they'll bring up Angry Birds.
bazookaBen··on John Resig: Redefining the Introduction to Computer Science at Khan Academy
tried it. The greatest takeaway for me is being able to edit the code and see changes live.
bazookaBen··on Ask HN: How to build a Codiqa-like interface?
nice! I want to learn how to build a simple iphone/android emulator running on the web, which I can drag drop elements into.
