girasquid / striped_box.rb

Last active October 13, 2023 00:20

This is a helper method that makes you a box filled with diagonal stripes. You can pass in the spacing between stripes, as well as any extras you want applied to the border or lines (ex. colors)

	def striped_box(x, y, w, h, spacing=10, border_extra={}, line_extra={})
	primitives = []
	border_box = {
	x: x,
	y: y,
	w: w,
	h: h,
	}
	primitives << border_box.merge(primitive_marker: :border).merge(border_extra)
	top_corner_x = x

How to connect PS3 controller on Mac OSX, PC, etc.

This is how you connect PS3 controller to Mac OSX, PC, etc. when previously connected to a PS3. You will need a Mini USB cable. Overcome your laziness and go get one!

A big misconception is that keep holding PS button will reset the controller's pairing. It doesn't! From my testing, the controller pairs with the last machine it was CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE.

Here are the real Steps:
