i didn't know any clojurescript when i started writing @boxtype.app (in january). the only issue i had from time to time was that i didn't know what the function i wanted was called, so i couldn't find it in the docs

i compress and encode worlds in @boxtype.app in the url. i use [somthing like] this arbitrary metric to indicate the efficiency of the encoding:
(/ (size (lz+b64-encode (str-encode boxes)))
(size boxes))
eg. this world with 85 boxes has an "efficiency" of 6.976.
now you can't unknow this.
(/ (size (lz+b64-encode (str-encode boxes)))
(size boxes))
eg. this world with 85 boxes has an "efficiency" of 6.976.

i'm getting closer to releasing my browser game @boxtype.app. It is a 2d platform/puzzle game with an embedded level editor. let me know if you want to try it before release (requires a keyboard)

i made keybindings and colour config for @boxtype.app work with local storage. now i need to find a way to give names to levels locally. currently they are only encoded/compressed as b64 in a url parameter
