[...] few months ago, I posted about how the classic method most JS programmers would use to randomise an array completely fails. [...]

Thanks! I suppose in games there’s a lot of call for this sort of thing.

I really need to do a follow-up on this, as I’ve since come up with a more foolproof way of randomising an array. This was just the method I used when someone needed an answer in an hour. :)

Hi Emmett,

Great post. I shared and discussed your page with a couple friends.

Comment on Caveats of the JS Module Pattern by Emmett Pickerel

@Adam
My apologies for not getting to your comment sooner.

The need for private namespace is not limited to singletons. Strictly speaking, the above is a factory function that produces module instances.

For further development on this, please see my post on the SMIRF pattern:

Perhaps I’ve misunderstood something. I thought the idea behind modules was to implement namespaces which are are missing in javascript. Name spaces are unique, so modules should be instantiated as singletons. If the module code is being used as a factory method then two distinct ideas are being conflated.

@Frederic That is a valid programming pattern, and I've played with it a lot. The big issue there is that none of the prototype functions will have access to private variables or methods. In essence, they will be executing in a completely different context from the inner methods. Those inner defined methods will either need to be 100% responsible for the object state or provide public methods with *direct* access to the private variables and methods, thus breaking the encapsulation.
