I’ve been playing a little
“Captain Forever” lately. As web based games go, it doesn’t suck. One of the quirkier features though is that it lets you export your current ship configuration to HTML as the following ASCII art and link:
v
|---|
| |
|---|
| |
| |---| |
+ | | +
--- /---\ ---
>| =| @ |= |<
--- |---| ---
^ | | ^
|---|
> | | <
|---|
| |
|---|
^
Pilot this vessel
Sadly it doesn’t let you save if you’ve loaded from a ship exported in this way – it’s a kind of one-way thing really. Bit of a shame really, I rather like the game otherwise.
It also appears that wordpress’s input filters have mangled the generated HTML a little. I might need to look at that.
I’m playing with a little app called iBLogger on the iPhone just now. While mostly it’s nothing special, it can insert links like the one below automatically, which is neat.

Edit: Google latitude actually does this nicer; see
