Older games work even better in windowed mode because they expect the screen

OT: Who the hell uses MSN?
Almost everyone below 60 in Sweden, at least a few years ago.
MSN has done very well outside the United States.
I thought MSN had a pretty large network of users. IIRC arstechnica
recently had an article comparing the userbase of msn and skype.

I'm not saying move the game to the browser, just the part of the game
where you can browse the servers for that game. That's the part of
QLive that I liked, I don't care if the game actually runs in the
browser or not. I don't know what this NaCI busines

Where would you cram it then? Put MSN inside the game itself?

I liked QLive before they forced 30 second commercials on server joins
for non-subscribers. :(
It was cool being able to casually browse to other tabs, then going
back to qlive and finding a game.
UT for example had an integrated IRC client, but people preferred
using mIRC and having a ut://123.1

Well, let's set aside my personal things and see how this might be
done.
Based on what I've read so far, it actually sounds easy enough, codegen
wise.
It might be possible to drop gdc into th

It allows to run code efficiently (in my tests something like 5-10% slower than
native code), and it's supposed to be (or to become) safe. There are plans for
usage of the 3D GPU and audio. It looks a good idea for games, and more.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't actually throw away JS! I've never

Client-side scripting that throws away that god-awful JS crap being utterly
useless?
This still sounds as utterly useless as it always has been.
This was for the digitalmars.D newsgroup, of course. It's the new bug in the
