Components are simply instances that implement the Ashley component class. import com.badlogic.ashley.core.Component; import com.badlogic.ashley.core.ComponentMapper; public class Position implements Component { public static final ComponentMapper<Position> Map = ...

Entity systems are how you perform functional operations on sets of entities. Components should typically not have logic associated with them that involves awareness of data or state of other component instances, as that is the job of an entity system. An entity system can not be registered to mor...

Closures are inline anonymous methods that have the ability to use Parent method variables and other anonymous methods which are defined in the parent's scope. In essence, a closure is a block of code which can be executed at a later time, but which maintains the environment in which it was firs...

The IEnumerable<T> interface has a single method, GetEnumerator(), which returns an IEnumerator<T>. While the yield keyword can be used to directly create an IEnumerable<T>, it can also be used in exactly the same way to create an IEnumerator<T>. The only thing that changes ...

Following is most basic expression tree that is created by lambda. Expression<Func<int, bool>> lambda = num => num == 42; To create expression trees 'by hand', one should use Expression class. Expression above would be equivalent to: ParameterExpression parameter = Expression.Pa...

This will create a timer to call the doSomething method on self in 5 seconds. Swift let timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(5, target: self, selector: Selector(doSomething()), userInfo: nil, ...

5.1 JavaScript does not directly support enumerators but the functionality of an enum can be mimicked. // Prevent the enum from being changed const TestEnum = Object.freeze({ One:1, Two:2, Three:3 }); // Define a variable with a value from the enum var x = TestEnum.Two; // Prin...

For example, if t1 is currently not an InnoDB table, this statement changes its storage engine to InnoDB: ALTER TABLE t1 ENGINE = InnoDB; If the table is already InnoDB, this will rebuild the table and its indexes and have an effect similar to OPTIMIZE TABLE. You may gain some disk space improv...

The two functions fn1 and fn2 can return multiple tensors, but they have to return the exact same number and types of outputs. x = tf.constant(1.) bool = tf.constant(True) def fn1(): return tf.add(x, 1.), x def fn2(): return tf.add(x, 10.), x res1, res2 = tf.cond(bool, fn1, fn2)...

It's simpler and easier to input values as a Python tuple instead of a NumericRange. Book.objects.create(name='Pro Git', ratings_range=(5, 5)) Alternative method with NumericRange: Book.objects.create(name='Pro Git', ratings_range=NumericRange(5, 5))

the timedelta module comes in handy to compute differences between times: from datetime import datetime, timedelta now = datetime.now() then = datetime(2016, 5, 23) # datetime.datetime(2016, 05, 23, 0, 0, 0) Specifying time is optional when creating a new datetime object delta = now-then ...

To remove extraneous packages (packages that are installed but not in dependency list) run the following command: npm prune To remove all dev packages add --production flag: npm prune --production More on it

To generate a list (tree view) of currently installed packages, use npm list ls, la and ll are aliases of list command. la and ll commands shows extended information like description and repository. Options The response format can be changed by passing options. npm list --json json - Sh...

When using a VCS such as Git or SVN, there are some secret data that must never be versioned (whether the repository is public or private). Among those data, you find the SECRET_KEY setting and the database password. A common practice to hide these settings from version control is to create a file...

Removing duplicate values in a list can be done by converting the list to a set (that is an unordered collection of distinct objects). If a list data structure is needed, then the set can be converted back to a list using the function list(): names = ["aixk", "duke", "edik&...

A closure is the PHP equivalent of an anonymous function, eg. a function that does not have a name. Even if that is technically not correct, the behavior of a closure remains the same as a function's, with a few extra features. A closure is nothing but an object of the Closure class which is create...

As seen previously, a closure is nothing but an instance of the Closure class, and different methods can be invoked on them. One of them is bindTo, which, given a closure, will return a new one that is bound to a given object. For example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->p...

Let's consider this example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->property; }; class MyClass { public $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myInstance = new MyClass('Hello world...

Since PHP7, it is possible to bind a closure just for one call, thanks to the call method. For instance: <?php class MyClass { private $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myClosure = function() ...

In general, an observer is a class with a specific method being called when an action on the observed object occurs. In certain situations, closures can be enough to implement the observer design pattern. Here is a detailed example of such an implementation. Let's first declare a class whose purpos...
