Progress:

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.

(Also yes I know that is a concerning amount of My Chemical Romance tracks. I had my MCR phase strike up again with a passion last October and I am still balls deep in it.)

GraphQL vs REST API in Node.js: Which One Should You Use?

🔗 APIs are the backbone of modern web development, but choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Let’s break it down and make your decision easier!

🌟 REST API: The Traditional Powerhouse

REST (Representational State Transfer) has been the gold standard for years. Here's why: ✅ Simplicity: Easy to implement and understand. ✅ HTTP Protocol: Leverages HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. ✅ Widely Supported: Works seamlessly across platforms. But REST has a downside — over-fetching or under-fetching data, especially when your clients need only a specific subset of information.

🚀 GraphQL: The Modern Challenger

GraphQL, developed by Facebook, is revolutionizing API development. Here’s what makes it unique: ✨ Single Endpoint: One endpoint to rule them all! ✨ Client-Controlled Data: Fetch exactly what you need, no more, no less. ✨ Strong Typing: Built-in schema ensures data consistency. ✨ Flexibility: Perfect for complex queries and large-scale applications. However, it requires a steeper learning curve and might be overkill for simple use cases.

🤔 Which One Should You Use?

Use REST API if your project is simple, time is limited, or you’re working with a small dataset.

Choose GraphQL if your project is complex, you need efficient data fetching, or you're building a large-scale application.

💡 Pro Tip: Combine the best of both worlds! REST and GraphQL can coexist, providing flexibility where needed.

👉 Ready to make your Node.js development smoother? Whether it's GraphQL or REST, the right choice will save you time and effort.

Why to Use Graphql Explained with Example for API Developers

Full Video Link - https://youtube.com/shorts/hO2vbzF4cNk Hi, a new #video on #graphql usage for #microservice #api #developers is published on #codeonedigest #youtube channel. @java #java #awscloud @awscloud #aws @AWSCloudIndia #Cloud #CloudComp

GraphQL is a syntax for requesting data. It’s a query language for APIs. It lets you specify exactly what is needed, and then it fetches just that — nothing more, nothing less. GraphQL is the solutions to common REST issues like over fetching and multiple network request. REST is an API design architecture that has become the norm for implementing web services.  It uses HTTP to get data and…

My open-source decentralized core

I asked before if people would love to hear about my open-source projects, and I got a lot of really great responses, so here we go...

About the project

I've been working on a NodeJS project lately, it's a decentralized real-time data network integrated with AI policies and other cool security features, It's only been a few weeks under development and in its early stages, but I hope we get somewhere with it.

The project is called ddeep-core, and it's supposed to be a tool under the ddeep ecosystem we are building in Multi Neon (my startup).

This core is supposed to be a more secure way to sync, save, and process decentralized graph data in real time based on data subscriptions and policies.

link to the project

How it works

First of all, a peer (device or browser) would subscribe to some data (a node in the graph database) by opening a connection with the core and sending a get message, and if the policies applied to that node are satisfied, it will add a real-time listener to that node and send back the current node's data, otherwise, it just ignores it.

Now every time someone updates that node's data by sending a put message, that peer will receive a real-time update.

well, these policies can be AI-powered... so for example, if you want to prevent any angry inputs from being added to the network under the 'posts' node, you can do so in 3 lines of code easily.

ddeep-core can be a fully decentralized solution, and if you want to save data to storage, you can do that too with features like recovery checkpoints...

It supports IP whitelisting to prevent cross-site attacks and that kind of stuff, It manages the data well by resetting the graph and listeners every while, and with each peer connection close.

There is no API for this yet, but it works perfectly with Gun.js or just by sending requests to it, we are currently working on an interface API to communicate with the core in a more efficient way.

So, is it good ??

So far the results are pretty good, if we are talking about stability we still have a long road to go with more testing, and if we are talking about performance, It's good so far.

ddeep-core is good when it comes to performance, as it ignores a lot of things when processing connections and messages, for example, if the core has to deal with a put request, and has to save data to storage too, it won't wait for the saving process to finish, it will just ignore if it's done or not and send the updated data to all peers listening to it (after processing the policies for sure).

I focused a lot on the data structure of listeners and peers, and I hope I got it well as it really affects the performance a lot.

System Shock 2 in Unreal Engine 5

Tools, tools, tools

Back when I worked in the games industry, I was a tools guy by trade. It was a bit of a mix between developing APIs and toolkits for other developers, designing database frontends and automated scripts to visualise memory usage in a game's world, or reverse engineering obscure file formats to create time-saving gadgets for art creation.

I still tend to do a lot of that now in my spare time to relax and unwind, whether it's figuring out the binary data and protocols that makes up the art and assets from my favourite games, or recreating systems and solutions for the satisfaction of figuring it all out.

A Shock to the System

A while back I spent a week or so writing importer tools, logic systems and some basic functionality to recreate System Shock 2 in Unreal Engine 5. It got to the stage where importing the data from the game was a one-click process - I clicked import and could literally run around the game in UE5 within seconds, story-missions and ship systems all working.

Most of Dark engine's logic is supported but I haven't had the time to implement AI or enemies yet. Quite a bit of 3D art is still a bit sketchy, too. The craziest thing to me is that there are no light entities or baked lightmaps placed in the levels. All the illumination you can feast your eyes on is Lumen's indirect lighting from the emissive textures I'd dropped into the game. It has been a fun little exercise in getting me back into Unreal Engine development and I've learnt a lot of stuff as usual.

Here is a video of me playing all the way up to the ops deck (and then getting lost before I decided to cut the video short - it's actually possible to all the way through the game now). Lots of spoilers in this video, obviously, for those that haven't played the game.

What it is

At it's core, it's just a recreation of the various logic-subsystems in System Shock 2 and an assortment of art that has been crudely bashed into Unreal Engine 5. Pretty much all the textures, materials, meshes and maps are converted over and most of the work remaining is just tying them together with bits of C++ string. I hope you also appreciate that I sprinkled on some motion-blur and depth of field to enhance the gameplay a little. Just kidding - I just didn't get around to turning that off in the prefab Unreal Engine template I regularly use.

Tool-wise, it's a mishmash of different things working together:

There's an asset converter that organises the art into an Unreal-Engine-compatible pipeline. It's a mix of Python scripting, mind numbingly dull NodeJS and 3dsmaxscript that juggles data. It recreates all the animated (and inanimate) textures as Unreal materials, meshifies and models the map of the ship, and processes the objects and items into file formats that can be read by the engine.

A DB to Unreal converter takes in DarkDBs and spits out JSON that Unreal Engine and my other tools can understand and then brings it into the Engine. This is the secret sauce that takes all the levels and logic from the original game and recreates it in the Unreal-Dark-hybrid-of-an-engine. It places the logical boundaries for rooms and traps, lays down all the objects (and sets their properties) and keys in those parameters to materialise the missions and set up the story gameplay.

Another tool also weeds through the JSON thats been spat out previously and weaves it into complex databases in Unreal Engine. This arranges all the audio logs, mission texts and more into organised collections that can be referenced and relayed through the UI.

The last part is the Unreal Engine integration. This is the actual recreation of much of the Dark Engine in UE, ranging all the way from the PDA that powers the player's journey through the game, to the traps, buttons and systems that bring the Von Braun to life. It has save-game systems to store the state of objects, inventories and all your stats, levels and progress. This is all C++ and is built in a (hopefully) modular way that I can build on easily should the project progress.

Where it's at

As I mentioned, the levels themselves are a one-click import process. Most of Dark engine's logic, quirks and all, is implemented now (level persistence and transitions, links, traps, triggers, questvars, stats and levelling, inventory, signals/responses, PDA, hacking, etc.) but I still haven't got around to any kid of AI yet. I haven't bought much in the way of animation in from the original game yet, either, as I need to work out the best way to do it. I need to pull together the separate systems and fix little bugs here and there and iron it out with a little testing at some point.

Lighting-wise, this is all just Lumen and emissive textures. I don't think it'll ever not impress me how big of a step forward this is in terms of realistic lighting. No baking of lightmaps, no manually placing lighting. It's all just emissive materials, global/indirect illumination and bounce lighting. It gets a little overly dark here and there (a mixture of emissive textures not quite capturing the original baked lighting, and a limitation in Lumen right now for cached surfaces on complex meshes, aka the level) so could probably benefit with a manual pass at some point, but 'ain't nobody got time for that for a spare-time project.

The unreal editor showcasing some of the systems and levels.

Where it's going

I kind of need to figure out exactly what I'm doing with this project and where to stop. My initial goal was just to have an explorable version of the Von Braun in Unreal Engine 5 to sharpen my game dev skills and stop them from going rusty, but it's gotten a bit further than that now. I'm also thinking of doing something much more in-depth video/blog-wise in some way - let me know in the comments if that's something you'd be interested in and what kind of stuff you'd want to see/hear about.

The DB to JSON tool that churns out System Shock 2 game data as readable info

Anyway - I began to expand out with the project and recreate assets and art to integrate into Unreal Engine 5. I'll add more as I get more written up.

This stack includes MongoDB, Express.js, Angular (or React as a replacement), and Node.js. In many modern projects, developers substitute Angular with React for better component control and flexibility. 

Integrating React JS Development into the MEAN stack allows for real-time functionality, faster page loads, and seamless single-page navigation—perfect for businesses looking for speed and performance in their applications. 

Why SPAs and React JS are a Perfect Match 

Single Page Applications need to be fast, dynamic, and interactive. React JS Development delivers on all fronts with features like: 

Virtual DOM for rapid UI updates 

Component-based architecture for better reusability 

Declarative code that makes debugging easier 

React’s ability to render components without refreshing the entire page ensures a smoother user experience. This is especially important for SPAs, where maintaining application state and providing instant feedback is crucial. 

Real-World Examples of React JS in Action 

Many industry leaders use React JS Development to build their SPAs. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Airbnb rely on React for its efficiency and scalability. These applications are expected to handle millions of interactions per day, and React’s architecture helps make that possible. 

These real-world applications show how investing in React JS Development can provide the foundation for a responsive and high-performing digital product. 

Final Thoughts: React is the Future of SPA Development 

React JS isn’t just a trend—it’s a long-term solution for businesses aiming to stay competitive. With its robust ecosystem, reusable components, and integration capabilities, React JS Development enables companies to build scalable, high-performance Single Page Applications efficiently.
