That's plain old Georgia, although slightly off black for the print looking (something like #222200)

Baskerville for the title. Minion Pro for the menu buttons (better legibility on older iPhones)

Oh yes. I know what you mean now. Although you can pretend the humans are computer algorithms : )

Good suggestion. I am also thinking about a "View Original Article Mode", so you can explore the full articles on demand, and not restricted to 3 degrees.

No I cached the wiki page on my server. Sometimes it's under a different title because of the redirect. Genghis Khan -> Kara-Khitan Khanate -> Jurchen (Jin Dynasty)

You are right, I intended to make each puzzle page viral, so players could challenge each other. But I am now having issues to bring that challenge back to the game (instead as a Twitter/Facebook message). Maybe Game Center is the only way

wow whiskey gamer. I should put you as a testimonial.

Yes it's very similar. But The Wiki Game randomly generates problems, while all problems in this one are created by players, rated by other players in a HN/Reddit manner.

As long as you can reach Libido from Alan Turning, it's fine, doesn't matter which route you take. However, it's only limited to 3 degrees so there are not too many options, and you won't get lost in the wiki world either.

For my upcoming game/app (threewiki.com) I actually built all three versions : ) First the complete, native iPhone version, then realizing that parsing HTML and storing with Cocoa is a pain. (Core Data is pretty good but too bureaucratic fo

Vim is ancient yet its idea can be quite advanced: we have 10 fingers so why not use as many of them as possible? It's like a puppet master wiring her fingers to fully express herself through the puppet. In the case of programming, Vim is t

I am a poor student myself : ) To me it's actually cheaper this way. As absolute price never matters as long as you can pay it upfront. Then the long term cost per usage-time will pays off (plus better usage experience). The same philosophy

I have owned 3 Macbook Airs. Two first-gen ones broke down too often, the second-gen one Apple gave to me for free. Most people complained it's pricey. It puzzles me. Think of how many hours a day you spent touching it. A $2000 price-tag di

All in all, answers to problems like this become very obvious once we separate our so-called conscious mind and the inner subconscious zombie that in fact does most of the mentally/bodily processing. For example: 1. Do you know all your vis

Thanks for the link. I found it as a good way to learn, and to remember what you just learned. So I think it could be more like an app, instead of a game.

Need to earn some cash to bootstrap for my startup (vittyo.com). iOS is much easier to make some food money in my opinion. Behind the scene, the logistics is actually mostly server-based, using Cocoa just for the eye candies. So it is reall

That's where the social curating aspect of the game kicks in. Good, educational connections stays on top (on weekly basis), bad ones got flushed away. It's much like Hacker News in a sense.
