There is such a well-known competition for web developers
10k.aneventapart.com , which was often
mentioned on Habré . Some users of Habr managed to participate in it with different projects. Now, if you wander through the contest site at your leisure, you can find many interesting projects that, although they did not receive the main prize once, are worthy of attention and informative.
This time my attention was attracted by a simple entertainment application with an information bias -
10k.aneventapart.com/1/Entry/141 (Guess the Headlines).
Having a little picked in source code, I made Russian localization. Details under the cut.
The application is a game written using HTML5 and other means allowed by the rules of 10k. Using the service
pipes.yahoo.com , the application “overtakes” the RSS feed of the English news aggregator in JSON format and parses the titles of the articles. The task of the user, by typing letters on the keyboard, to guess the title, and then you can read the news.
Slightly changing the functionality, we get localization for Russian users. It is possible to work with headers containing both Russian and Latin characters, of course, not forgetting to switch the keyboard layout.
Result -
news.mult-films.netAs a starting point for a multiplayer application, where the move will be transmitted to users in turn, the presented code may also be useful.
