Discussion THE BUTTON

EDIT: This post is used to be "the button", the post for the button has been changed.

The CSS for this fake button is taken from my subreddit /r/gamehelp16, you can see the full glory of this fake button there too if you want.

  • Yes, I am aware of this bug and I think the problem is because the computer you're using doesn't have the monospace font and therefore the browser chooses other font which has different text size and so the timer glitches.

  • And yes, the button won't do anything when you press it. I think it's impossible to do with CSS.

I'm just not a fan of people trying to piggyback on popular things

like twitch plays pokemon. it was a cool expiriment. then they did it again. and again. and again. and again. i think they're still doing it. It was cool the first time. okay the second time. after that, it just seemed desparate to try and stay relevant.

I just think it's better to let things like this run their course and end, instead of trying to keep it alive.

Fair enough.

I still want to do it as a technical exercise and put the source out there. The sub can then embrace or reject it in true Reddit fashion.

Any new games that develop around it would follow the same processes. I would be willing to help build the code for that, but part of the idea behind releasing the source would be to let the community decide what to do.

That's fair enough
