I once had a dream that this thing was the subject of a Top Gear episode and the three were given one each and they were tasked with modifying them in preparation for a race.

Hello, my name is Caesar. I am a writer and an aspiring software-engineer.

I'm gonna leave this here for anyone interested in a more in-depth tutorial.
This is a really cool design for a website, but I can't imagine it would be too user friendly for mobile users. It's still awesome to use on desktop.
Interesting, I'll check one of those other books out. The library I go to only ever seems to have his doorstoppers on the shelf.
That's the one I was thinking of, thanks.
This game is great. I played it for quite a few minutes. It reminds a lot of one the games that the inventor of Tetris designed for the Famicom. I can't remember the name of it at the moment.
A little bit actually, yeah. This looks great, thanks.
I always wondered if it was possible to have a TUI-style window manager inside the terminal. This is a fantastic project, whoever made it did a great job.
No specific reason. I've always found typewriters interesting and I enjoy it whenever I find someone who has, or still, uses them. They're a lot more enjoyable to write on than computers, to me at-least.
Good point. What model was the Olympia, if you don't mind me asking?
I still don't understand how people were able to write software in the days when assembly was the only option for speedy execution.
I wonder if texture mapping this would look good.
This absolutely amazing.
This is cool, it reminds of when I would get bored and make little games as batch files for the windows command prompt a long time ago.
This ia really neat, I always wondered how those books were designed.
As someone who has attempted to write their own text editor completely from scratch before, this would've been a tremendous resource to have.
I think this Apple II version of Portal is the best thing I have ever seen. Is this the same guy who did the Apple II version of Myst?
I was just watching a video about this, it's pretty cool and honestly impressive that it could be done on N64. They don't even have Half-Life 1 on N64, which makes me wonder if recreating Portal 1 decently in Goldsrc is possible.
Next to things like Notepad, the Calculator, and Command Prompt, Wordpad is and has been one of the most useful programs ever bundled with Windows in terms of functionality and user-friendliness, so the idea of getting rid of it (even if it gets replaced) just seems kind of asinine.
To be honest, outside of Wikipedia, this is probably one of the most useful websites on the internet.
Maybe I am missing something but are all the wall textures replaced by the door texture?
Wow, good going Microsoft, for a company worth several billion dollar, you would think they had better quality control on their products.
To be honest, this sounds a lot more fun than the stuff they do in programming classes nowadays.
That sounds really cool, thank you for sharing.
In idea, this reminds of the old game Core Wars and its special "Red Code" programming language.
Neat.
This pretty cool but I am kind of curious how GPT would react to the "Drunk ELIZA" version of the chat bot found at: https://danieltemkin.com/DrunkEliza
Something tells me it would lead to some pretty comedic results.
This is really neat, but also kind of redundant due to the fact that Microsoft Edge already includes a surfing game extremely similar to SkiFree, although it replaces the Abominable Snowman with a Kraken. I still think this is pretty cool though for those who want the original experience running on newer, none 16-bit, hardware.
I was a little bit disappointed when I discovered which type of hamburger menu they were talking about, I initially thought this article was going to address issues with the common types of sandwiches provided by fast food restaurants. But otherwise, I agree with the points stated in this article.
Although I would put my links in a <nav> section at the bottom of the page above the footer instead of inside the footer itself. Putting links in the header or the footer always seems to cause accessibility issues.
Or better yet, I would put links to the two or three most prevalent pages of the site as well as a link to a separate sitemap page in a navigation section under the header, so it would be something like:
"Home - About - Projects - Sitemap".
I agree, the original Castle Wolfenstein was a fantastic game and was a lot more closer to something like Metal Gear Solid than Wolf3D in terms of gameplay. I still boot up DOS BOX and play it every so often.
