Fair point. I’ll rethink the loading

I need to improve the performance but I disagree it looks like every other claude game. I spent a long time iterating on the artwork style to get it to the point where it's at now. I haven't seen a game that looks as good as mine

Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on this

Should be fixed now

The thing is most people don't care about having a choice, they just want it to work. In fact having choice taken away from them is a good thing.

Probably 99% of Apple / Windows users aren't very tech literate so if they have to fight an update they'll just think it's broken.

It's just basic business practice, cater to the 99%, don't worry about the 1%

This is brilliant. Some improvements I'd suggest

- Let me use the arrow keys to walk around the plane, having to keep double clicking on the floor to move is quite annoying

- Would be good if there was business class seat

- Add video to the inflight entertainment, you could probably just embed youtube

- Optimise it. Run okay on my M5 mac air but not that smooth

I actually disagree, I think this will be a massive hit.

I've long thought that the aspect ratio of a normal phone just feels old fashioned now and sucks for most tasks. So many times I go to do something on my phone and reach for my laptop instead because I know it'll be easier. But with this I could do most things on it.

I am seriously tempted to get this phone (or the next iteration) when the time comes to upgrade from my iPhone 13. I think the aspect ratio would be perfect for coding on the go which is always a bit painful on a standard phone. Although there's just some inherently uncool about a folding phone, like I'd think twice about getting it out of my pocket at a party

it's a net positive for the human race

This is interesting. I think AI music will be massive in a few years.

It makes sense to listen to music made just for you by a model that knows you. You're bound to feel more emotion from that than trying to relate to something that wasn't written about you

Sorry about that. Should be fixed now

I think an easy mode is a good idea, I will explore that. I'm glad you like the surprises, I do think they add another layer to the game and makes it more stategic.

I think that's correct. Gare du Nord only serves stations north of it. You want to go to one of the stations in the south

The reason you have to work is because the game is based on a BBC show called "Race across the world" where you have to race from point A to point B with the money equivalent of an air fare for the journey.

If you run out of money in the show or your funds are running low you can work to earn more money. So that's why I added that feature. I do think it adds a extra layer to the game as it's something you always have to think about

Hmm, that's not good. Where was the ferry from and to?

Yeah I didn't implement that as in the show they don't let you look anything up but quite a few people have mentioned it would be useful. I think I will add

- A minimap to all the timetables that show visibly where the transport goes - A tourist information center in town and city centers you can use to find out other information

Hello I'm Chris the creator!

For the past year I've been working on Geo Racers, a free to play web game where you have to race from one side of the world to another just using public transport. It's inspired by the BBC show "Race across the world".

It's early stages but any feedback on the game it's greatly recieved.

I run Brick Ranker a website that tracks the value of LEGO sets and minifigures. You can also signup and catalogue your own collection so that you can track it's value or just see what you own.

It makes around $500 a month from a mixture of adsense and affiliate schemes. Would be good if I was making more but I've automated most it so I spend maybe 1 hour on it a month.

Pro tip: Use 100dvh rather than 100vh. dvh is dynamic so it reacts to changes in the available device height. Useful as on mobile browsers the height of the window often changes when you use certain browser features

I'm sorry I can't take this article seriously. It's complaining about ads but the ghacks website itself is covered in adverts.

I MOT it (obviously) and service every year but if I know something needs doing that's going to be expensive I just live with it. Especially if it's electrical because that can be a mine field and cost lots of labour time. Sometimes I try and make repairs myself and learn something in the process

Spending $25k on a car (if they exist) is just an insane thing to do in my opinion. In the UK we are quite lucky in that the used car market is very good. I always just buy a ~£1,000 diesel and run it into the ground, then rinse and repeat.

I think in 17 years of motoring I've spent around £5,500 in total on cars.

I'm currently working on https://brickranker.com/

It's basically a website for tracking the value of LEGO sets and minifigures. For example see https://brickranker.com/rankings/minifigures/star-wars for a list of the most valuable LEGO Star Wars minifigures.

You can also catalogue your own collection and track it's value at https://brickranker.com/collections

Does anyone remember the Simpsons in CSS thing, that was cool

Just seemed to classify everything as either mob, swab, hairspray or barbell

That is correct, relative to the town / city you are viewing

I changed it so they are ordered randomly now. Let see if that makes a difference. Having them in alphabetical does make it easier to find what you want but there is a search.

For some questions I'm going to have to display the answers in some kind of fixed order, for example chronological order for films

That would be good but I wanted to make an app where you just do a simple, fun task every day. With an ELO rating system you can just keep going and going whereas with this it only takes a minute or so

Sorry I did exclude those fruits which people typically mistake as vegetables like tomatoes. Otherwise the list would have been too long.
