Colour blindness in text games13th May 2010 Try Color Oracle -- you can preview what an image will look like to people with different kinds of color blindness. If there is no suitable color palette, you might want to consider other kinds of visual indicators, as bram32 suggested -- maybe enclosing k*snip* |

Argh! Adverts!!5th April 2010 I think the mid-thread ads are a little bit bothersome, but if they're only for non-logged in users, I can't really see complaining. I would not mind seeing the side ads even while logged in -- Google ads are plenty unobtrusive. +AdBlock whitelist |

To drink or not to drink!5th December 2009 Vodka is probably my favorite, but only in very small amounts in mixed drinks. Lager is also an option -- most ales have too many hops for my taste. Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade is also good, because it basically tastes like cranberry lemonade, which is*snip* |

After Blitz...26th November 2009 BlitzMax is pretty stable now -- I think the first couple of releases were more or less betas. Since 1.3x-ish, it's gotten quite a bit more stable / consistent across computer machines. You might want to give it another try. D is in many ways a clean and *snip* |

Structure of Game Classes22nd October 2009 MVC actually works quite well for games, although "controller" does occasionally seem unnecessary for many game objects, and in those cases I tend to leave it out. One reason to separate model and view is to easily allow multiple representations of the ga*snip* |

RGB to Web Hex?21st October 2009 Since the Blitz angle is already taken care of, I'd like to note that you do not actually have to convert colors to Hex for CSS, because the following is possible: [code] color: rgb(212, 208, 200); [/code] It's part of the CSS standard, and even IE6 su*snip* |

dev-c++ problem8th September 2009 This is not related, but I do consider it to be important: Dev-C++ has been essentially abandoned since 2005. The version of MinGW (a Windows port of the GCC compiler) that it bundles with it is now extremely out of date and does not support a number of f*snip* |

Crossing the line in games?9th August 2009 Some time ago I decided to simplify my definition of art to "anything created with intentions of aesthetics or entertainment." It's not the "right" definition, but it allows me to bow out of "is it art" discussions, which is convenient because I am sick of*snip* |

Sams C++ in 24 Hours and Borland C++ BuilderX Problems6th August 2009 If you're on Windows or Linux, CodeLite is an excellent free IDE.* It's lightweight, but quite featureful. *If you're on Mac OS, CodeLite is a mediocre free IDE -- it's not been Mac-ified very well.

Hard Drive Ghosting - What's the best?5th August 2009 I don't know about best, but I've had no trouble with dd, which is cheap, free, and easy.
