Mum was travelling home from Aunt's, yesterday, and I figured I'd track her bus, so I could prepare her brew at just the right time.
Since the move to the Bee Network, the main site/app is all kinds of broken and no longer does bus-tracking on a m*snip*

That looks like a good potential buying opportunity if you can access U.S. stocks with your broker. Markets do tend to oversell from what I've witnessed from my brief time in them.

As with a LOT of AI sites I've discovered, it's all been the fault of Matt Wolfe!
Discovered on this video
And he's posted this one all about the Nvidia crash as a result, today.

My problem is the exact opposite! I rarely develop games beyond the prototype stage.

D'oh!
That's a shame, but it's probably a good idea to stop here, before spending FAR too long on the project!
I honestly can't think of what else you could use, or at least, nothing that'll be easy to work with!

Loads a 128x128 image, displays it in the centre of the screen. It turns out that the sacle of the sprites are directly related to the width of the window, no wonder I couldn't scale it properly.
Anyway, this example changes the window size with space*snip*

Can you switch to Orthogonal view? That'll be slightly easier. But you have a myriad of issues, like distance from lens, graphics resolution scaling on DirectX's side, graphics resolution scaling on Windows' side, and a whole lot of other bit*snip*

Yeah, the Bolton store was a frequently visited shop for me. Upstairs for the 8-bit games, Downstairs for the Garfield books!
