This is a great way to present the mechanics with phaser code to back it up! I would love to see this teach-by-example format used to show some collision detection (polygons, squares, circles, pixel), scrolling (top-down, side), expanded gr

No question. I used Delphi 5 for a long time. The IDE was as easy as it gets, the sample code on the net was rampant, and it produced single little EXE files I could send to people and they had a full-on Windows application. The closest th

3 main things bother me about this license: 1) The F word. I get it, lots of people don't care, use it, etc. But it's hard to be in a professional environment, use something that is WTFPL licensed and explain to another professi

I thought this was going to be a little deeper, but it's physically the TOOLS (software, skills, knowledge) you need to make a web app... successful or not really has nothing at all to do with this. And he forgot a really important one

ADDITION: I didn't include this info above, because what happened and what I did may not both be agreed with by all. I think the big difference between how this situation was handled and how I handled it is that in this situation the a

This happened to a small game of mine. I included the instructions of how to play the game, and those instructions required the use of the same word a lot of times. I too had my game suspended, but realized that it must have been the use

Yes, but they still block websites that are not connected to Google Webmaster Tools, and the site owners may not realize it. It would be nice if they notified the domain registrant as a heads-up because most small biz site owners that find

This happens to many small business sites. If they leave their WordPress un-patched, or have a crappy plugin installed with security holes, or their FTP info is guessed, etc, hackers drop some malicious Javascript on their sites, and the ne

I don't think satisfaction from being recognized will be achieved through coercing the system. I think what we want is a genuine pat on the back from the community and a natural rise to the top based on our accomplishment alone.

I've reached a similar conclusion lately in dealing with burnout. I'm trying to figure out who I really want to be, rather than what I thought I was supposed to be. It wasn't so much movies,books,etc, but as a 34 yr-old ex-c

Yeah, bad example. I was referring more to removing "was" and "ing" if you are overusing it too much, particularly when writing scenes that include action. It really does work though. Through peer review, I found that

This is a good list and lesson. I remember learning about this in my creative writing classes in college, and the other great tip we got at about the same time was to do something similar when writing in past tense by ditching the "ing

This was talked about in a reddit post about Flappy Bird, and one commenter pointed out that there was something of a youtube review landslide - and that some of their other games were already popular in Japan.

I certainly do. At my kids' school, they are blowing whistles at kids for running. RUNNING! It's stupid. So someone gets bumped. Someone skins their knee. For God's sake, let the kids RUN. Then on the playground. If the

Also, we sometimes won't ask questions or talk to potential consumers for FEAR that our "great" idea will be negated. The excitement of building something, using new technology, solving a problem (whether it exists or not) is

But it could. What if the website I wanted to login to sent me a text with the token? Then all I had to do was reply to the text with a Y or N to log me in (or enter the code directly into the site if I wanted to). When the text back is re

I agree with you, but if you are looking for a game very similar to this that's already out there, check out "Puzzle Retreat" on iOS/Android.

Check out agameaweek.com. The Dev is really cool in various forums, and has been doing this for about a year I think. He's using Monkey-x to code them now. I don't know how you guys do it.

I agree. The few domains I have there, I'm really happy about. I love how it really focuses on domains first. However, with the email service, google apps, and web forwarding, I'm a little concerned they'll start up-selling

Why does this thing even have to land? Can't it drop each package with a mini parachute from about roof-top level with good accuracy? Or even 10ft, just above the height of most kids, dogs, cars and adults.
