I’ve been working on different data structures and algorithms in JavaScript recently. Jest is the workforce to write and run my tests and Visual Studio Code is my preferred editor for coding. Here is the most simple way to debug your code using Jest and Visual Studio Code together ...

I’ve been working with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for the last 4 years configuring different clients and integrating systems. It was challenging to learn and grasp the terminology and jargon. I had the chance to contribute to the open source Keycloak Node.js adapter and gained experience with Keycloak while working for Zwift. Along the way, I took notes about this protocol and decided to write this article for myself to refresh my memory when I need to. I hope it can be valuable to you too ...

A common way to compose a game scene in Unity is attaching one GameObject to another to share methods and properties. This practice causes a highly coupled architecture that is hard to maintain. Unity does provide a Messaging System but it limits the parameter’s type that can be sent. In order to overcome these problems, I created a pure C# Event Manager to implement an event-driven architecture in my Unity Pixel Maze game ...

The first Pixel Maze prototypes were basically a grid of lines representing walls of a carved maze. When the experimentation phase was over, it was time to apply an art layer on top of the black and white maze to start looking like a real game. After some research, I discovered that Wang Tiles would be the preferred technique to make it happen ...

When building a JavaScript library, you may find yourself on some code architecture issues. Should I use a constructor function, maybe with a prototype inheritance, isolating in a module or a mix of all of this? A library should have a well-defined public interface and protect itself from a carelessly programmer. In this post, I’m going to build a super simple library to illustrate some code designs ...

Every day we learn new technologies, we know more about what we thought we knew everything and we solve problems. But most of the time, this knowledge is not passed forward, sometimes it only arrives to our coworkers. Thinking about it, I decided (finally) to create my blog. I decided not to use a out of the box blog, but to build one from scratch to learn something. This post talks about this experience and this blog where you are is the result ...
