The only other thing I'm noticing is that there appears to be a small gap between the top edge of the layout and the part that says "Posted on 03-17-15...". Although I'm thinking that it may just be a browser thing, because I'm using Firefox, but if I view it in Chrome it seems to look ok.

Yes, that happens to be a browser thing with Firefox. Firefox uses a default style sheet that defines <p> to have a 1.12em large margin at the top. Other browsers do not use that default style sheet so <p> does not have a margin when using those browsers. Adding "margin-top: 0px;" to p.padding will get rid of that space for users of Firefox and other browsers that use a default style sheet.

Coding is a very interesting subject, no matter whether it is making a program or a webpage.

I honestly was a bit hesitant in pre-ordering this, since I was only going on the hype I had back when it was shown in E3 and not having seen anything else about it as well as shooters of any kind not being a genre of game I play often. That and my general reluctance in playing any game online with others.

This is definitely a good game though, and I had a ton of fun with online battles. I don't forget that the point of turf wars is to have the most painted ground, but sometimes I just get caught up trying to defeat some opponents when I really shouldn't and end up wasting the rest of the time in the match. If I do focus more on gaining turf for most of the match, then normally I end up covering the most in my team.

I need to do the single-player stuff sometime since I only did the first two missions just to get used to the controls. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to spend on something like this for too long lest I wind up with little sleep the next day. I will definitely try to play more, hopefully with some of you guys at some point.

I got an app that changes my background every 12 hours and this is the one that happens to be set right now out of the 36 background images I have.

I don't really use my phone that often, so I normally default to the empty screen to admire the background.

I just tested it out.

It's pretty much the same thing as the Developer Tools you find in modern browsers, except that you are using the 3DS in order to analyze the rendering of the web pages.

You download DeveloperTools.zip directly from the 3DS by using the given URL, then extract it on your computer. The zip contains an index.html and resources folder with .js and images.

When you open index.html on your computer's web browser, you get a Javascript prompt asking for the IP address of the 3DS which was given earlier when you downloaded DeveloperTools.zip.

When you have done that, you are taken to a page showing all of the currently open tabs on the 3DS browser. When you enable the Developer Tools on the 3DS, all your previously open tabs and cookies will be deleted, showing only the main homepage of the 3DS browser. Selecting a tab on the computer front-end will take you to a page that acts as the developer tools on a modern browser.

Then it's pretty much the same as using a web browser's developer tools, with the computer working as the tools and the 3DS as the webpage renderer.

It's an interesting detail that Nintendo added to help web developers working for 3DS compatibility.


(Edit: Details added for clarity of how it works.)

Well, everything happens in real time so maybe the O3DS doesn't have enough power to constantly send and receive all the changes from the computer and also render the webpage without losing responsiveness. The N3DS wouldn't have that problem seeing as it's more powerful.

If not that, then maybe there's just some reason it wasn't available for the O3DS.
