Events

Events are things that happen in the system you are programming — the system produces (or "fires") a signal of some kind when an event occurs, and provides a mechanism by which an action can be automatically taken (that is, some code running) when the event occurs. Events are fired inside the browser window, and tend to be attached to a specific item that resides in it. This might be a single element, a set of elements, the HTML document loaded in the current tab, or the entire browser window. T

Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Movie Approach Sounds Familiar

In the lead up to his newest film Weapons, we learned writer/director Zach Cregger would tackle Resident Evil for his next project. In the months since, he’s been vague about what to expect from the film, and his newest teases are slightly more concrete in terms of telling us his game plan for Capcom’s zombie franchise. Talking to Inverse, Cregger called himself “the biggest worshipper of the games, so I’m telling a story that’s a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” No

Matter and Form Three 3D Scanner Review: Easy Scans

As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way to get a full-resolution 3D model of a part without spending hundreds of hours learning 3D modeling or thousands of dollars on a high-resolution 3D scanner.

It’s important to emphasize that 3D scanners are not the end-all, be-all of creating 3D models. They are a tool to b
