Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Being unpolished is the defining feature of Flappy Birds   . Centuries from now, anthropologists will be trying to understand "Flappy Birds"... and failing. Close as I can figure, it was a counter-culture backlash to the insane popularity of "Angry Birds"... like punk was to disco.

I love this idea! And thanks for adding Defender/Guardian and Heli-Blaster. Just a minor point, in the description for Heli-Blaster it say "helicooter" instead of "helicopter".

Thanks again for doing this, it's brilliant.

Fixed.

I have also made links active. I need just change the styling of them, so it will be similar like rest of the page. But anyway should be possible to add link direct from ADD PAGE:
<a href=link target="blank">text</a>

link is address of the link, target="blank" will open it on new tab/page and text will be shown...

Hi,
Space Trek was just added and I saw author put in contact his email. Few points to it:
1. Be warned, this information is not protected so it can be misused fo SCAM!!! So better is webpage or just TBS nickname
2. When really needed then use mailto: someone@somewhere as contact (without mailto: part will be combined with cmm2.fun for totally wrong link...)

@jirsoft: you're right in link is probably enough.  Can we delete e-mail (or can you do it for me?).  Thanks.

jirsoft, please, if you could, change the Wolfenstein 3D description to:

Wolfenstein 3D version made from scratch for Colour Maximite 2 (working in progress). Warning: Contains blood and images that can be disturbing to the sensible audience (swastika).

Whilst I love the idea that it "can be disturbing to the sensible audience" it should actually be "may be disturbing to a sensitive audience."

Also it is "work in progress".

YMMV,

Tom

thwill, thanks for the corrections! As you can see, my English is bad and I don't like using translators.

jirsoft, please, can you correct it on your site?

No worries, it's much better than my Portuguese, or for that matter Czech.

Best wishes,

Can you think of anything that can be done about the fact that one person can just keep clicking on the stars to up the rating ? (You can remove two clicks from Z-MIM which I added whilst experimenting if it bothers you.)

Best wishes,

Tom

I'm sorry Tom, I don't know how. My knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/SQL are really very limited and I'm already on my limits  
I don't know, if it's so important - I just thought, when somebody likes the prg, he/she will add the point. In longer time should be eliminated "first playing" with this feature. We will simply see.

I have added TOP 10 (based on rating), also small counter by the stars, so you can see exact points.

Already is also working displaying of more than one category (bug fixed).

And now I'm trying to improve CSS styling of some elements...

It's tough to fight this, but you may add in the cookie/local storage information that someone has already starred an item:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29717023/creating-a-cookie-to-not-vote-again-in-a-poll

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7056827/cookie-only-vote-once

note that this is easy to implement and easy to circumvent - the user can simply remove a cookie or edit local storage to vote again. But I guess that this will do, unless your site becomes mega-popular (and we can work on that, too ).

Hi Jiri,

I've been noticing the improvements and it's starting to look really rather slick.

It would be nice if you could investigate @Rado's voting suggestion.

I think you might also want to re-scale the displaying of the stars since there aren't that many of us, I suggest:
=0 all empty stars
1   ..    4  -> 1 full star
5   ..   24  -> 2 full stars
25  ..   99  -> 3 full stars
100 ..  499  -> 4 full stars
500 and more -> all stars full


Finally (for now) could I urge you to push to GitHub regularly so that if you lose interest, or God forbid become unwell or have an accident there is a way for someone to recover the site.

Best wishes,

Tom

"CM and one more suggestion for now, change title from

"CMM2 PRG LIBRARY" => "CMM2 LIBRARY"

since it no longer contains just programs.

Cheers,

Tom

It's too big complication for me (and I see it unimportant, look at your request below: there aren't that many of us). When Rado would like to do it, I will very happy upload the changes to server...
