When people stop driving too slow in the far left lane, I'll stop tailgating.

You can edit old Word docs & Powerpoint presentations on an Android tablet?

Pay in Cash, don't use store discount cards. Don't let "them" tie the purchase to you. Problem solved.

Or, take the discount, pay with your convenient credit card, and don't give a crap what they think they know about you.

Your choice.

Sorry, just re-read my post and realized I was mis-remembering. I had also posted to facebook on a similar subject. Anyway, massive frame rate inconsistency, along with shitty audio support.

I go to bed now.

I thought was clear. Massive frame rate inconsistency. I can't even benchmark my code, because one play I'll get 40, then I shift-reload and get 60. No rhyme or reason.

Already on it. :) My web games are in HTML5, and it sucks how bad the audio in HTML sucks. Actually, it sucks how bad HTML5 sucks. My next game will be in flash. I know how much of a dead end flash is, but that says something about how much HTML5 sucks, doesn't it?

Could I write "sucks" a few more times? What does that even mean?

I totally agree. But it is frustrating. They don't give any reason, just a "denied"

I can't advertise my own band on Google. They refuse my ads again and again. Free music. It's MY music. My band wrote and recorded it. They will not let me advertise it as free.

The ads take days to get denied. Then I change it and it's days again to get denied. Eventually I just gave up.

On the other hand, the ads for free web games I make get approved in hours.

You're the one who's anonymous.

I used to visit Digg several times a day. Then they did a site redesign that was horrible. I stopped going there, and after a few days, realized I didn't miss it.

Note to slashdot: I've been coming here at least once a day since 1998. Note you have had redesigns but nothing too horrible, and I'm still here. Don't pull a Digg.

Oh please, I've been hearing that first prediction every year for as long as I can remember.

I think that's the point of his joke. :)

Thanks.

I found it easier than I expected to write. The jawsJS game lib does most of the heavy lifting as far as sprites, animation, etc: http://jawsjs.com/ it's LGPL. All my code for that game (Runestone Defense) is BSD licensed.

I have written one HTML5 game http://magigames.org/runestone_defense.html and I am working on another.

HTML5 runs fine on a PC, but is too slow on my iPhone 4s and my iPad.

I chose HTML5 because I wanted to brush up on my Javascript. If I wanted to make $, I'd have chosen Flash.

Making sure everything works in various browsers / OS is not too bad. I test in IE9, Chrome and Firefox on Windows 7, Chrome, Firefox and Safari on Mac, and Chrome Firefox on Linux. It can be time consuming to try them all, but once I nailed down the differences (mouse events in IE, most notably) it wasn't too bad.

Write something. Participate in the Liberated Pixel Cup http://lpc.opengameart.org/ or write a game on your own. I just wrote one and it was fun: http://magigames.org/runestone_defense.html

The best programmers learn on their own. They tinker at home. Don't rely on school to teach you everything, or even most things.

Or you could just party and drink and get laid. :)
