Here are some thoughts following "The bootstrap problem": In order to create multiple web games without ending up with more and more to do because the games need to continue to function on a changing web, I made sure to use timeless HTML and Javascript features for This Is (NOT!)

I just read something about the latest web programming trend "#nobuild", which means: Writing code in a normal way in order to make it run normally in a web browser.
