"'...when you buy furniture, you tell yourself: that's it, that's the last sofa I'm gonna need. No matter what else happens, I've got that sofa problem handled.' - Edward Norton in Fight Club

When I have a lot of things to do in little time, I feel a palpable sense of anxiety. Similarly, when I clear one of those things off my plate, I feel a sense of relief. These are emotional responses tuned to push us into action when situations threaten to get unmanageably complex.

Games can trigger these same emotions -- both the anxiety related to an unsolved problem and the reward that comes with resolving it."

TRON Clock V2 « The Algorithmist

TRON Clock V2 « The Algorithmist : "I wanted to contrast different implementations of the same concept in the TRON clock, so welcome to V2. My intent in the first version was to always display an analog-style clock with a circular theme and varying background quadrant graphics for the minutes. The former was considered part of the component and the latter was the skin. That’s a pretty narrow view of a skin. What if someone wanted to replace the circular theme with something triangular or square or even a digital display - Sent using Google Toolbar"
