Fun game, and clean code.

Good job!


This is pretty sweet, but wish there was a way to filter to show movies available on netflix.


Netflix will be shutting down their API in 10 days. So unfortunately pulling their data won't be possible. We'll look into other services asap.


How about crowdsourcing?


Difficult but possible. There are some easier possible ways of getting the data. We'll be looking into those first.


+1. I can't believe that still doesn't exist on the web. I have Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Amazon Prime accounts, but nothing will answer for me "Can I watch this movie for free somewhere?".

Filtering by streaming service is a killer feature.


With the exception of Amazon, who evidently weren't interested in cooperating, Tivo does a great job of this. You get some Amazon content but it's not the good stuff. For Hulu and Netflix you get unified search and you can do things like come across an in-progress movie in the guide, see that it's available on Netflix, and start watching it right away. I really wish Amazon would let Tivo have a decent app with Prime support.

Edit: Sure enough, as soon as I posted this I came across an article saying that Tivo will be getting Amazon Prime this fall, as well as Vudu. http://zatznotfunny.com/2014-08/amazon-instant-vudu-coming-t...



Only netflix, but http://whatisonnetflix.com/ (sorts them by imdb or rottentomatoes ratings)

edit: I didn't realize they were shutting down their api to 3rd parties very soon. I'm assuming this won't work after that



You can do this on the fan tv ipad app.


The game is fun to play, but I recommend using vector .svg graphics for when the board is zoomed in.


Hey, game author here! All the sprites are from an svg icon font and the rest is all just divs. My understanding is that the blurring has to do with how certain browsers handle 3d transforms by converting vector graphics into textures:

CSS transforms are awesome, but when you're doing crazy things with them things can get pretty buggy. Thanks for playing!


This is a great extension! Very useful.


really like the playful flying airplane.


Reminds me of playing with RhinoCAM and CNC routing during a digital fabrication course in college.


that's the spirit


thanks mark


hoping this is not too good to be true.


I like it.


Great concept, but terribly buggy for me at the moment. Will come back later to try again.


Yeah, we found some major bottlenecks and fixes are on the horizon. Thanks! :)
