RT12 Productions Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hello! Would this size of font type be better for y'all?! (18 pt) I used the larger 24 pt size for high visibility (easier on poor vision eyes)... . Thank You! PS.: I use BOTH an HP Pavilion desktop AND a Toshiba Satellite laptop for my Internet research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 How about just using the AA defaults and if you have problems seeing, adjust YOUR browser setting for size and default font. The large fonts are annoying to read when on a mobile device like an Ipad or my Galaxy phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is it really necessary to pick on someone and ridicule him for his choice of fonts? It seems that it would be just as easy, and perhaps even easier, to ignore his posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I AGREE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE WRITING IN A WAY TO GRAB ATTENTION I MEAN REALLY WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED ANNOYING AT ALL.

intvnut Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Hello! Would this size of font type be better for y'all?! (18 pt) I used the larger 24 pt size for high visibility (easier on poor vision eyes)... . Thank You! PS.: I use BOTH an HP Pavilion desktop AND a Toshiba Satellite laptop for my Internet research. That does fit more nicely on the screen. One handy trick: In Firefox, at least, you can zoom a webpage in and out by pressing [Ctrl] and either plus or minus. (Specifically, the plus/minus keys at the top of the keyboard near Backspace, and not the ones on the numeric keypad.) [Ctrl]-[0] resets the size to 'normal'. Again, the [0] key at the top of the keyboard, not on the keypad. I find that super useful on sites whose text shows up in a super-tiny font. This trick happens to work in the version of IE on my work machine too. (IE8, since I don't really use IE for anything except backward and old websites anyway.) One nice aspect of the zoom feature is that it zooms everything on the page, including other folks' posts, icons, and text boxes. I have pretty decent eyesight with my glasses on, and even I occasionally find myself using the zoom feature to try to make heads or tails of some of the smaller icons on various web pages. EDIT: Also, pressing [Ctrl] and using the scroll wheel, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, has the same zoom-in / zoom-out effect.

KnechtRuprecht Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Maybe Mr Doherty will polish them up and work with Elektronite for a release, as he has done with Old School and Kroz? Sounds feasible. I've no desire to update these roms. They were never meant to be completed games but rather were attempts to come to terms with programming in assembly. The coding is hideous and buggy, but at their very least they led to my later projects. Shape Escape is merely a stripped down Bejewelled rip-off and Firegirl was written before I properly understood the Intellivision's video display properties (some may say I still don't understand 'em. These roms are 'as is' although playable in a limited capacity. Maybe they'll serve as examples for new programmers intimidated by Joe's SDK -- to see what a relatively inexperienced programmer can come up with after six month's worth of hair-pulling and nail-biting.

Binth Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thank you Mr Doherty! I remember going to your page years ago, it is very sad to see so much of the old internet lost to the sands of time except for a few screen grabs here and there. I think I came across Joe's Left Turn Only page years ago from a "web ring" for Intellivision. Those late 90's early 00's websites rekindled my love for the console!

+BBWW Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 How large are these games? What about a CIB like Triple Action or Triple Challenge with multiple games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
