I wrote some tutorials for making "grid-based" games that might give you some inspiration ( https://ganbaru.games/writing-grid-based-games/ ) It's actually kind of crazy how many different types of games w

I don't think it's iPhone vs. Android, rather "mega-corp $$$" vs. hobbyists. At the point where Android could be considered "open" (e.g. removing Google Play Services, etc.) you've lost a lot of the functi

He did treat Woz terribly in many ways, but without SteveJ, Woz's inventions would never have found the audience they did. I think Woz is OK with how things turned out.

You're looking at it from the modern perspective. What Microsoft did was use their monopoly power to destroy a potential competitor -- the first step of the "EEE" trifecta.

I would find it strange if someone introduced themselves to me with their business title. I sometimes ask "what do you do for a living?" as small talk, but that's solicited.

Different audiences, I guess. I know lots of people _only_ use dedicated apps. For me, the friction of needing to search an app store, then download in order to play, is too much. I'd rather click/tap a link and be able to start p
