It's a UWP implementation of the rules of Kriegsspiel (1824-1882). I plan to release it in the Windows Store. It's a question of where to stop. It's a simulator; teaching tool (strategy; tactics; evolutions); a war "game"; etc. Looking to add Bluetooth multi-player.

It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Pardon me?

Like, not everyone in the southern US has a deep twang in their accent. Very much so. Also, the slang is the same yet different. For instance, Outback and Northern Queenslanders tend to join multiple words into one. eg: Waddaya think? = What do you think?

As a follow-up - Yes, I fully love typing on this thing now! Part of me remembers the old IBM keyboards, and thinks they come close. But a larger part thinks I'm mis-remembering, because this keyboard absolutely rocks! Even though I'm not a fast keyboardist (~60 wpm), I feel faster on it. Thanks!

I hate this kind of news too. If I die from colon cancer, or pancreatic cancer, so be it, let people know. Why should it be kept secret? Being open is good so other people can be more wary, which diseases kill people the most, and have that part of their body checked. I hate it when I read 'rapidly spreading serious medical condition' bla bla bla..

I did not use it, but one of my colleagues at work might be using it ...

The warfare in the Balkans has been going on at least since the Moslems invaded the area in the 7th or 8th century. While the Christians in Spain pushed the Moslems out in the 15th century, the Christians in the Balkans were less successful, and the war is ongoing. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

I had to re-read that in Skinner's and his mom's voices...

I know the guy works with a pretty nice scientific approach, but there is still a lot of dependance of the data used. I think the usage of social media decreases with the intelligence / madurity of the user. So the biggest % of people using it will fall in that average easier. Charles Kroeger wrote: American's brand of capitalism would seem to encourage an empty mind to begin with. Sadly not only American's... I think this really extended. In fanatic countries it is already limited per se. In autocratic countries, the same. In democratic countries, it is being pushed pretty hard. As I said, dumb people is easier to manipulate. Pick a country and you can find several examples related to that without big efford. Charles Kroeger wrote: Americans understand this in the sense they will go out to discover what to buy, not what they need. It is not a sustainable way to run a country in my view. Same as above... if it only were the americans... :sigh: Charles Kroeger wrote: AI may compound this too by turning several hundred million into useless members of society. If that happens... it will be the start of the end. From all the people I know without something meaningful to do, the biggest part have either psychological, alcohol, drugs problems or all at once. We are not done to stay idle for long periods of time, it is not healthy. Charles Kroeger wrote: Time will be the revelator I suppose. For sure... the question is... what will it reveal? M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
