Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

eetools

a console for managing a running Empty Epsilon game / server

early WIP

contributions (feedback, code, tests, issues) are welcomed!

how to install

  • make sure you have node.js installed, version 8 and above.
  • in the command prompt, run npm i -g eetools (requires an internet connection)
    • after a few seconds, the installation is done and a message will appear:
my-machine$ npm i -g eetools
+ [email protected]
added 105 packages in 8.008s

(the latest version is now installed in your machine)

how to use

running the tools

start an empty epsilon server with httpserver option turned on (warning - this is an experimental feature). for example:

my-machine$ EmptyEpsilon httpserver=8081

run eetools from the command line, followed by host name and HTTP port number of the empty epsilon server. you will then enter the eetools prompt:

my-machine$ eetools localhost 8081

eetools:localhost:8081$ 

type help to get a list of current capabilities, exit to exit.

start

launch the empty epsilon game application with httpserver=8081

lua mode

Lua mode allows you access to the running game's scripts API (the same capabilities as when writing a scenarios). warning - if you don't know how to read and write scripts, you would probably have a hard time getting value out of this mode.

to enter lua mode, run lua inside eetools

eetools:localhost:8081$ lua
Entering LUA Mode. To exit, type 'exit'
eetools:localhost:8081$ lua: 

now type whatever lua expression you wish, and it will be executed in the game's live context.

examples

run some basic lua expression

eetools:localhost:8081$ lua: 'hello' .. ' world'
hello world

print the player's ship hull and change it to some outrageous value

eetools:localhost:8081$ lua: getPlayerShip(-1):getHull()
250
eetools:localhost:8081$ lua: getPlayerShip(-1):setHull(123456)

you will notice that the hull of the first ship is now 123456 out of 250 total. how cool is that?

how to set up a local development environment

  • download code from github
  • inside folder eetools run npm install from the comand line
  • inside folder eetools run npm run build from the comand line
  • inside folder eetools run npm start from the comand line to run the tools locally.
    • use -- to add parameters to npm start like so:
my-machine$ npm start -- localhost 8081
