   Hope you don't mind the plug, but I've been working on a Minecraft-inspired real-time cooperative game-making platform geared towards gamers (both young and older) and I think you might find it to be a great place to have fun with your kid,

   Looks like a nice, lean service, kinda reminds me of iWantMyName's approach to domain names: clean & straightforward. If you guys are interested in hosting CraftStudio servers (my Minecraft-inspired collaborative game-making platform fo

   Cool use of WebSockets and nifty concept! Is the source available anywhere? A couple things I noticed in the Chrome developer console: - Got two "Not allow to load local resource" errors with local paths to file://C://Users/chris/..., you p

   Might be worth changing the submission title ("You keep using that word") to include the word "Meritocracy". It's really opaque right now.

   So far so good, the pre-launch show is interesting, full of interesting content both live (Q&A) and pre-recorded videos. The speakers reading from a prompter is a bit too obvious at times but this is a minor annoyance. It's awesome that

    On the other hand, having no sound until it starts means people might get startled when you actually start (or have them not realize their speakers are off).

    From what I understand, PubNub provides servers around the world who take care of the heavy lifting and all you have to do is deal with publishing / subscribing messages. So there are servers, you just don't run any yourself and it is all a

    Thanks! Yeah there's plenty of stuff to talk about, I should probably spend more time writing. Some quick info in the meantime: CraftStudio is built in C# with XNA, which is primarly a game framework but worked very well for CraftStudio. I

    Still a pretty big inconsistency. 500 + 1% typed right in calculator displays "500 + 1% = 500.01" in the calculator. 500 + 1% typed in the search box displays "500 + 1% = 505" in the calculator too . It's probably due to the search result

    You can type your calculation as a google query and you'll get the result. This calculator is designed for people looking for a mouse- / touch-based UI.

    I just tested it and the percent key in the Google calculator doesn't work like the one described in the linked article. It really just divides by 100. 3 + 5% = 3 + 0.05 = 3.05

    Just in case it might be a problem for anyone: The article uses the CSRF vulnerability to log you out of all Google services (and says so in a PS at the bottom). Don't open the article if you don't want to have to log in to Google again aft

    Just thought I'd mention CraftStudio ( http://craftstud.io/ ), the multiplayer game-making platform I'm working on. You could say it's a Minecraft-style engine but you get to make your own models, paint your own map blocks and (soon) write

    Yeah I've watched a few videos about WarioWare. They really nailed the "it's a game" thing, but the restrictions are really heavy. Having worked on a couple Nintendo DS titles myself (nothing worth mentioning), I'm pretty sure the hardware

    IndieGoGo actually lets you choose whether you want an "all-or-nothing" or "keep it all" campaign. The main reason I wandered away from Kickstarter is that in order to start a campaign, you need to be a US citizen living in the US with a US

    Thanks for the kind words. You're right in saying CraftStudio isn't your regular game, but I do think it has a very gamey feeling to it, if only for the fact that editing is tailored to be simple and it's fully multiplayer. There are quite
