Re:New Project - The Programming Games Wiki on Saturday October 02, 2010 @11:41AM (#1750637)

As a big fan of programming games I've always wished for a decent site with information about the different games. After waiting in hope I finally gave in and created my own :-)

If you're a fan of programming games I'd love to hear from you.

Otherwise please feel free to criticise my choice of platform :-P

Re:Alternative monospace fonts for programmers on Monday May 03, 2010 @10:51AM (#1314837)

They look much better with sub-pixel rendering but thanks to different sub-pixel geometries taking a screenshot doesn't really work.

Re:Alternative monospace fonts for programmers on Monday May 03, 2010 @07:19AM (#1314510)

Why is it a rip off? Just because half of the fonts are listed in both articles?
