In the Rayman: Raving Rabbids games, one of the minigames involves tracing an outline on the screen with as much accuracy as possible. I don't know whether or not you'd consider that "complex", but it certainly involves a little more than j

I'd love to see more PHP on HN (I am here to learn, primarily, and PHP is what I do), but the problem seems to lie in there being a lack of quality PHP articles. Maybe I'm being unfair, but just lately I've been getting the impression that

By the look of the source, it's from an analytics snippet, and the image has failed to load. Probably the fault of the provider, rather than any "sneaky" attempt on behalf of the webmaster. Unrelated - I didn't realise you were on here (rec
