>Clearly, there are people still interested in Access, even if it’s only because they’re trying to untangle the mess left for them by a previous generation of hobbyist programmer. My job function entails extending and maintaining an MS A

this is interesting. colors are an important addition. i made a demo of the same concept a few months ago. i wrote up a few notes. http://galaxybuster.net/notes/thoughts-on-timeleft

this is the true problem with procedurally generated content in games. portrayed as infinite content, but you end up getting an infinite amount of the mostly-the-same content. would you rather play 10 different levels or one level 10 times?

sort of interesting. i expected it to have velocity/inertia, but I think that would make it much more than ~900 bytes

i imagine he was asking about inflation. using this inflation calculator ( http://www.in2013dollars.com/1795-dollars-in-2000?amount=2 ), which doesn't support entering cents, to find that two 1795 dollars equate to $26.4

i had a similar experience. i was locked out for 6 months, during which time i couldn't even make payments to others with amazon payments. i missed out on several interesting kickstarter projects. i'm glad they're switching t

neat effect i suppose, but i can't imagine it looking very good in-game. doesnt this go against the whole style of pixel art, being aligned to a grid, low palette colors and keeping the same pixel resolution throughout? i see way too m

The author kinda contradicts himself by saying you should vertically align your code, but then says use proportional fonts if you find them more readable. (Not to mention, proportional fonts don't allow you to vertically align things w

Regarding point #2, I've found it usually balances it a bit more and while keeping the same values, makes it more colorful. If working with a limited palette, a neutral grey can be used dually with warm or cool colors on the object to

I got the impression that, for those emoji with multiple people (for example holding hands) there will be variations with the 5 skin color modifiers - that's 25 (if order matters) new characters to represent the permutations of one emo

they seemed to have removed their tweets as well: https://twitter.com/tacobell i remember seeing them tweet at customers about their experiences so it's a bold move - i'd be willing to bet it's temporary to p

this is fascinating. i love the mix of scientific experimentation with an art piece. i'm wondering at which point the improvements in the newer generations will taper off... maybe a rat could be the next warren buffet?

it's to be expected. most of my users come from tumblr, where those sorts of longwinded posts and that style of humor is pretty common. i don't think it is a problem - i'd rather have a happy medium, though. things like this:
