I've been thinking a lot about micro-finance/micro-credit for funding creative content. There are a lot of different possible ways to do it, and this is a nice one... Anything that replaces the labels, the studios, the publishers, etc has t

it would be cool if the sprites had some ballistic motion after they were spawned... with velocity based on the initial direction of the delta that spawned the sprite + some gravity, maybe some turbulence and random lifespans and size chang

That's funny. I work at a place that's supposedly full of hard technical (and creative) problems. But they're always someone else's problems. And for every hard problem at a "real" job, there's 10 annoying ones. I bet the startup ratio is
