Thanks for sharing this! This is the programmer/co-developer Melos (posting from my ancient college-era HN account...) As other comments point out, yeah this is technically NOT Open Source, but other terms don't communicate the in

Perhaps it shouldn't be solving one problem, but maybe explaining a base concept in a field most mathematicians know, and how it's important - since there's no one right answer, it would also show their experience and so forth - most people

I know you're not - I just wanted to point it out for the audience who isn't as familiar with the Flash game market.

Thank you for bringing this up. I would still draw the "indie" label at a small dev team, but those games you mentioned - at least Burrito Bison - while fun, and it has some interesting bells and whistles but at the end of the day isn't par

I think #15 - attacking a bug directly instead of going about it with patches (although possibly there could be a fine line between "direct' and using patches) can be especially relevant for anyone (even outside of games). The CRC one, #16,

I have no idea how important thorough knowledge of game design is at a bigger company where you'd likely be working on something small. For smaller experience with games there's a bunch of frameworks - Flixel, Flashpunk, Unity, etc...that m

Is there a paper or article you know of I could read relations between creativity and hypomania/other psychological things? It interests me. Never mind, found one http://my.psychologytoday.com/files/attachments/33524/person...

Bandcamp. A handful of famous indie game musicians (Danny B, C418, Zircon, etc...) use it to sell their stuff and seem to prefer it over other things.

Hm, this sounds tough then. So what would be a more viable mode of action? What do people currently do to work on improving these labor conditions? I'll admit my first thought was "I'm just never going to buy these toys for so-and-so ever!"

http://www.formspring.me/EdmundM/q/274876035885957785 I find it disturbing that people would go through and even attempt deleting levels and altering things en masse. It's okay to point out the bug, and maybe change one thing to display t

Neato...this visualization is sort of well suited for a piece like that Prelude because it's mostly arpeggiations - when the strings change shape you can sort of feel more beforehand how the chords will change (the shrinking kind of tighten

How is it possible that 99% of programmers fail this? What qualifies as a programmer? (Where is that statistic even from...) Does that mean someone with a CS degree? Are the failures stemming from not knowing the general concept, or is it

+1 For someone helping us understand this - is there now an implementation (or could someone now given this paper, produce an implementation) that will run in this new time? Or is it just (as FaceKicker asked) a new analysis?

I think what helps make it art is that this artist took this idea, made it into an object (the hard drive with all the data), and then labeled it/made it accessible in such a way that we start to question it differently than if we had just

Wow, this is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see a name put on all of these argumentative structures that pop up.
