Mike,
it has been a great pleasure to read your article. Great attention to details and strong determination to reach a predefined target.
I like very much your "Conclusion", something we need to keep in mind when working on projects: a target, a path, some middle milestones, no distractions. Finish. Satisfaction. Start again for new features and improvements.
Nothing less and nothing more than a big, big thanks.
Eros
Petr,
At first my compliment for your site. Simple and clear and nice colors. How did you made it, by hand coded HTML, editor or is it a CMS?
About the article: I'm no game programmer but I must confess that the game programmers are a breed apart and do a very good job in plotting, graphic design, and contribute their own insight in software architecture. Professional programmers can learn from them  :)
.... Start again for new features and improvements.....
May I also add the Forth methodology formulated by Jeff Fox: http://www.ultratechnology.com/method.htm to our community invented by the inventor of Forth, Charles Moore http://www.colorforth.com/.

Marcel,
thanks! The static part of the web ( with articles, tutorials, ... ) is hand coded HTML.
In fact it is simple table + CSS file to define look of common things ( links, headers, image borders ).
This way it takes longer to setup new page, but it helps to keep code as simple as possible.
And thanks for the links!
At the end I wasn't sure if it was worth reading.
Mike, this is always my problem when just finished article :)
But yours is really good one, I am very happy it is on the website !
