Congratulations for the coverage you got.</p> <p>I've added a donate button on user request for my freeware WinMo app YaRPNcalc. I've only got very few donations, like 1 or 2 a year maybe.

Nevertheless, as you say, it's still nice to get user appreciation.</p> Funny story. Congratulations for the coverage you got.

I was a total jerk at the time, I thought I knew everything about programming and I was very critic. When the finance got scarce I had basically designed myself as someone they didn’t want to work with.

I’m much more polite now ;) .

That full screen feature sounds pretty neat, seems to me like you've got it all figured out and running how you want it. I do like the idea of just playing a game and not seeing a whole browser and web page; that's definitely how it should be.</p> Very nice post, and thanks for linking to my article.

Furthermore, flash is too slow on large resolutions, especially on highly graphical games.

SwiffoutGames switch the resolution to the closest of the native resolution of the game. This give you an efficient fullscreen mode too and works with many more games.

May be I love way too perfect things. Did you try it ?
