Lawnchair, 91 Icons, Charts
I like to keep Friday informal here on DailyJS, so here is my latest set of loosely game-development-related links.

I keep mentioning HTML5 storage solutions in our “useful game-related junk” posts because sophisticated games are much more palatable when they take advantage of local storage. Lawnchair is an interesting project — it’s like a very simple ORM library that relies on JSON.
It supports iteration and has several ways of iterating over collections:
people.each(function(r){
console.log(r);
});
// Classic with terse shorthand syntax
people.each('console.log(r)');
// Iterate documents conditionally!
// The first function is a conditional. The second is a callback to execute on records returned by the first
people.find(
function(r) {
return r.name == brian;
},
function(r) {
console.log(r);
}
);
91 Icons
I really like these SVG icons by the Raphael author: 91 Icons. Click an icon to see the path string used to generate the vector.
Campaign Monitor’s New Charts
Campaign Monitor have dropped Flash for charts and switched to a JavaScript solution. What’s cool about this is they’ve written up a blog post explaining how they did it: Say goodbye to Flash with our all new charts.
They’ve used the Highcarts library and added touch support so devices like the iPad will work with events properly.
