Touch in this case is rather like hover though. Lack of hover is one of the trickiest things in designing for touch screens right now. There's no good way to tell the user a bit more about what&#…

Basically, no. You'd have to use references and do research to find out what the likely color of every object in the scene is. If you know what type of black and white film was used and how it wa…

>> The sound wave produced by a piano note is a simple sine wave. > No, it's not. A piano note is a complicated stack of overtones (some of which are harmonic and some of which aren'…

Depends on how far away from the image you are, or how big it is. By taking the low frequency from one image, and the high frequency from another, you can get some interesting results. Take a look at …

Nice looking app, but why are those "Learn More"-links made out of fuzzy, poorly compressed jpegs? Doesn't exactly communicate attention to detail.

I think their philosophy has always been to show as little as possible for as long as possible, to avoid spoiling things... I get the impression that they have a story and a concept but no actual game…

I'm surprised how good this looks. Cyan hasn't really been able to produce anything of high quality or good taste for the past 10 years (and I say this as a huge fan of some of their earlier…

Calling them "icons" is a bit weird, but I really like the idea of an image with an api, for charts and other visualizations.

Wow, this is fantastic. I have some puzzle game ideas that I've tried to build several times, but I always get frustrated with how tricky it is to express the rules in code. This seems like such …

This is true, but it's still much better than pixelated blur or aliasing. Also, most of the time you have the same problem when authoring a bitmap with vector tools too, unless you very carefully…

BioShock is so stylized that it's hard to compare to Riven's attempt at photorealism. But the big difference with prerendered, even 15 years old prerendered, is the lighting. You can't …

An interesting aside: I can't seem to right click that link in Safari (6.0.5). It seems to be the "../../.." in the tag content that does it, because it works if I edit it out…

Several is "more than two but not many" according to Oxford Dictionary, so three should count as several.

Mine was almost identical, except with i++<100 instead of ++i%3? etc. Also 64 characters. But is there really no way to end the ternary operators without parenthesis?

No, "user" is a great word if you're talking about what it's like to use the product, and how to improve the experience of using it. A word like "buyer" or "seller" might be better in some cases, but …

Fun idea, but doesn't seem to recognize non-US keyboard layouts.
