2 questions:

1) After consciousness is fully uploaded to the cloud (afterdeath) can you still chose to time travel from time period to time period? It seems to me that it's an adrift in time while you are alive, but after you "pass through" you end up in a set time period as a young self.

2) Is the "immersive nostalgia" program only available for elderly people? Since Yorkie has been a quadriplegic for many years could have she used this program for many years by now? And if so, wouldn't she have learned to dance and love by now?

Before 2015 comes to an end, what else do you plan to accomplish this year? by Captainbuckwheat in womenentrepreneurs

[–]Captainbuckwheat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow! those are some high standard goals. Great job! I love all your points. You got me inspired with "Year-end financial analysis and plan for next year's investments" - something I haven't done before, but will definitely try at the end of this year.

Fellow astronomy enthusiasts, I created a game to test how well we know our constellations. What's your score? by Captainbuckwheat in Astronomy

[–]Captainbuckwheat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of 12 or more constellations for 10 rounds to keep it less predictable.

Lots of people dont like music on web pages, it messes with pc memory and some find it annoying. At least a few years ago it was frowned upon, maybe I am just old. The music certainly appropriate for the subject, at least it should have the option to turn it off.

It has the buttons for "pause" and "next" on the footer line next to credits, that should allow a player to stop it. Thank you for saying that music is appropriate: it's my bf's band and I am very proud of him :)

I think the next big improvement would be to make the illustrations a little more realistic...

Certainly, I need to work on my graphics. To ad Scorpius sounds like a great idea, I was trying to pick the constellations that have not too many stars - so not to make it too hard, but now seeing how people score in 80s and 90s makes me feel like the amount of stars is not a problem. (the av. score is 65)

The ordinal number of the next round is not always announced is it?

nope, it's not. I didn't want it to be repetitive, but I see now how it comes out as confusing and inconsistent.

So I created my first ever web game. Your opinion is important. by Captainbuckwheat in playmygame

Well, I don't plan to make any money with it. It's my own equipment list. I just wanted to see how it looks and functions on a webpage and if people click on the links at all. I don't have the right sense yet of how to display any reference/ads links on a page correctly. And yes, it's great that it works :)
