Another vote for Clickteam Fusion from me. I started writing games when I was eleven, with the predecessor The Games Factory (1.2) and that's what got me started down the road of software engineering.

I recently released my first self-published browser game ( http://scarletsword.com ) and used Stripe for the microtransactions. It's wonderful, and easy, and updates like this one make me excited for its future development. Y

I agree, being new to web development a few years ago I struggled along with Django for a bit before trying Flask, which is a fantastic framework. It's easy to keep the entire thing in your head while coding. Today I've moved on f

Western culture, generally, tends towards a "you can think what you like about morality, but don't you dare measure other people up to that standard" mindset. What you have noted is a good example of where such a mindset tend

I love Calvin and Hobbes, and respect Bill Watterson but the following just is not true: "Watterson sacrificed millions (probably hundreds of millions) of dollars by never licensing and merchandising Calvin and Hobbes." Sure, you

I care about poverty and war and politics and curing cancer, of course, but that's not all I think about 100% of the time. I can only speak so definitely for myself, but I'd be willing to bet that you don't either. You could

I absolutely love Shut Up and Sit Down, I followed Quinns over from Rock Paper Shotgun and have enjoyed the videos very much since. I'm very happy to hear you're profitable already. I would love to see what the Quinns and Paul think of Mach

I used f.lux for a few months last year, I did not stick with it because: • It overrode the brightness settings on my screen, so it was actually much brighter than I would normally have it. • Whenever I needed to work on anything with colou

I use Twitter in a very different way than Facebook though, and for very different reasons. I follow a small group of smart, funny or creative people that tweet really interesting stuff, but personally I tweet only a few times a month. Am I

A good article, but I don't want the Flask web framework ( http://flask.pocoo.org/ ) to go unnoticed. I struggled along with Django for a number of months, and since I was just beginning web development I felt like I was fighting the large

It's an interesting question, are we in a Matrix, or computer simulation, or the slightly older theory from 1641 where Rene Descartes imagined an omnipotent demon lying to him. Maybe I'm simplifying the question, but I reckon it boils down

Quick thought on the copy - "Get SupportBee - The Simple & Snappy Email Ticketing Software that doesn't kill your Human Face" It took me a few seconds to realise that what was meant was a company's human face, not my literal face.

This reminds me of the Peters Projection, one of the weirder attempts to map the oblate spheroid nature of the earth to a 2D plane. http://www.petersmap.com/

"The Go 1 release will be available in source and binary form for at least these platforms: ... Windows (2000 + later): amd64, 386" I develop primarily on a Windows machine, so this is some good news.

Check your process list for 'rcpnetp.exe'. Just checked my six month old Toshiba Satellite Pro C650, happily it was clean.

But Sean didn't come across as a nice guy at all, so your average movie-goer doesn't care if Sean really knew his stuff or not. The bit towards the end where Eduardo says something similar to "I like standing next to you Sean... makes me fe

Didn't pay attention to the 'Generator' part of the title, and got "Market schoolchildren to schoolchildren". I was confused for a good ten seconds.

I'm a CS student in East Sussex, England. Having paid so, so much money to buy Uni books, I would absolutely love anything to do with C++ and Python. Anything at all.

Don't write software because it'll cause a blackhole? I agree, that is ridiculous. I'm joking of course, the thing people are concerned about is being spied upon and never knowing it. That's not ridiculous. I don't particularly like the sof
