There seem to be people who hate ECMAScript 5’s strict mode. This post shows that this hatred is not justified and provides work-arounds for features that are missing.
Giving a third person camera to the killer seems fair for some people, but is not. Survivors need to hide from the killer (stealth) wich is not possible from a third person camera and that would slowy kill the game. As I said in my previous comment we have Last Year as an example. Controversial Hatred gets free FPS Mod June 24, 2016 - Gamehunter94 - News - No Comments Back in 2014 Hatred was released and crowned one of the most controversial games of that year.
The funniest example of strict mode hatred is in the RiverTrail code base, where NBody.js starts as follows:But if you look at what strict mode takes away then you find out that it only serves to make JavaScript a cleaner language.
Work-arounds for missing features
Strict mode eliminates some of JavaScript’s more questionable features. Here is a list of what is missing and how to work around it:- No more with statement. This statement causes performance and security problems [2]. Work-around: Instead of you can use an IIFE [3] and write
- No more arguments.caller. This property was removed due to security concerns (unsafe code should not be able to access its caller). There is no replacement for it, you’ll have to introduce an additional parameter.
- No more arguments.callee. This property offers a convenient way of accessing the current function inside the function itself, without referring to a global variable or a variable in the surrounding scope. A named function expression looks like a function declaration (a statement), but is in fact an expression. It gives the function a name that is only accessible from within the function. That allows you to rewrite the above code as follows:
- No more global access via this. This has always been more of a bug than a feature – you could access the global object via this in non-method functions. This can lead to accidentally creating global variables (e.g. if you call a constructor without new). The following is an example of legitimate use: Strict mode does not allow the above – this is undefined in non-method functions. You can use the following work-around: But you might not even need to access the global object inside the IIFE:
- No more octal numbers. Now 0100 really is 100 and not 64. And 08 is not an error, any more. I can’t imagine that anyone misses octals.

Back in 2014 Hatred was released and crowned one of the most controversial games of that year. Your goal was to kill as many humans as possible by playing as a misanthropic mass-killing sociopath. It was removed from Steam Greenlight due to its extremely violent content, but was brought back and successfully greenlit a couple of weeks later.
Destructive Creations Studio has announced that a free FPS Mod has been released for everyone that already bought the game. The Mod was created by a community member and a little bit of help from the development team, who’d like to thank the autor’s amazing effort.
