   Nitrome was the best! I especially loved their Steamlands game. You build these tanks to fight pirate tanks in a steampunk England. http://www.nitrome.com/games/steamlandsplayerpack/

    A real benefit of the Socratic method is that those magical moments of insight are all yours. You discover a new insight yourself, guided along the way. It's more fun and exposes any weaknesses. It's easy for the student to say th

    This is really cool. First thing I looked for was a Wordle-type "share" button. Maybe add a Wordle-style share button? Then everyone can play this with their friends.

    Thanks a lot for your detailed advice. Problem is I don't have access to a laptop. It's not allowed inside the base. Can I do these things with just a phone, internet connection, and Kindle?

    I thought widespread cocaine usage in the 70s was just a joke. Turns out it was actually a thing.

    Fascinating, but I'm not sure about the assumptions. This model mainly doesn't account for risk in the calculation. The company owner might only work twice as much as the 9-5 salaryman. But he increases the value of his equity, wh

    Thanks for this, I agree with everything you've said here. I agree that business skills will ultimately lead to wealth, but I would like to have a degree and be a graduate first. I know it's going to be a struggle, and I hope I en

    Thanks a lot for your advice. Interesting that you can't get rich with cs in all countries, but I think that in the USA at least I should be able to launch a business or something. Thanks for the reassurance and sharing that you did it
