• With utility functions for processing

Abacus.clone makes deep object copies but not deep array copies. Clone should make deep array copies too as the documentation suggests it will.

The documentation for clone reads

Abacus.clone( obj )  // Returns deep copy of obj

• Hello world examples and tutorials

The timer methods start and pause should return this.

In the function body of chooseTweenFunction, typeof has unnec. parens around its RHS operand

Introduce storage APIs for other Abacus APIs to consume for persisting data.

We need a way for Abacus APIs to arbitrarily store data locally by default, and then expose their own APIs for the user to select an endpoint to persist the data remotely with.

My thought is that the storage APIs should use CRUD sugar.

I would like to be able to operate on Abacus.entity.entities publicly.

I would like for example to be able to populate Abacus.entity.entities from localStorage.

Perhaps we expose one array of entities for each type added to the hooks, eg: Abacus.entities.players?

I would like to use these public arrays of entities like a light backbone style collection.

Animation currently stores data and operates with that data on an object over time. Frame similarly stores both the raw data and values to keep it from needing to loop through all the data every update. I think these objects should be split into something like this gist.

Find the vendor prefix once, re-use as needed. This will reduce the amount of duplicate, bullshit code we write for edge APIs

• language
• currency
• geolocation based lang/currency

This is because zlib was included in node and the name was changed.

Jakefile.js should be handle to handle either.

• User Interface (chrome)
• leaderbaord (see identity management APIs)
• HUD
• basically, we’re just going to hard code UI based on data in the system
• Use jQuery ui?

I'm not sure how to describe this, but if you put a console.log in the function, just before the return console.log( keys ) and then run the test suite, you'll see that it's creating some bogus looking arrays, mostly when it deals with Float32Arrays

This prevents me from creating a delete property. Should I just call it destroy, or can we let Abacus.store.delete( id ) exist, for example?

you don't get to claim proper noun-hood until you are used by billions of tweens on facebook

Abacus.clone(new Float32Array([1,2]))

returns following error in Firefox 7.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (taken from FireBug)

TypeError: value is not a non-null object
(undefined="[object Float32Array]")abacus.js (line 55)
[Break On This Error] })( obj )); 

• Manage player in the runtime (clever model)
• Achievement management
• Authenticate with multiple identity providers
• Leaderboards

underscore is unnec. this._until should match other properties

Introduce new event system to handle in memory events (eg to be consumed by entity), and DOM Events (to be consumed by input).

• Input
  • abstractly map a single api to as many inuts as possible
  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
  • Touch

Looking at the repo, readme file, and a cursory look at the Wiki, I have found no mention of a license for Abacus. Is it MIT, BSD, GPL, Mozilla, Apache, or some esoteric license? Is it even Open Source? Currently this cannot easily be determined by anyone through reading the currently available documentation.

Personally I'm always a MIT and BSD fan, but I am not super knowledgable in the details and nuances of choosing a license for a project.

• Integrate downloading with payments
• Script loading -> just use require.js
• Or just use AMD
• Asset downloading
• On the fly loading

Currently the abacus.tween.get( preferredIndex ) function compares the preferredIndex with the tween object's index property and uses the non-false value. This means that if the index stores a nonzero value, the function result is wrong for a preferredIndex of 0.

Example:

aTween.get(0); // evals correctly
aTween.get(0.5); // evals correctly
aTween.get(0); // evals incorrectly, instead outputting tween result for 0.5

It's important to include calls to expect( num ) when you're writing async tests, if something is missed it won't implicitly fail the unit.
