> You have chosen the winner: Inconsolata

Unsurprising, given that as far as anti-aliased fonts go, I long settled on Microsoft's Consolas.

But the game should include some bitmapped fonts like Terminus, which is what I'm using now.

It's so sharp at 2K, and looks befitting of a computer.

Fun game, my compliments to the creators.. there is one variable for me that makes it more difficult. Anti-aliasing. I turn it off on my display because I like sharp crisp fonts without blurred edges--and in fact, the higher resolution your display is, the less you need AA. Many "good" fonts are no longer hinted to fit to the raster grid, it is just assumed that you are using AA, period. What happens in that circumst…

I'm using a bitmapped font called Terminus these days. Do you know of any other good ones for coding?

Is it just me, or does it not appear to be working for anyone else? It just shows "You have chosen the winner" and none of the buttons seem to have an effect. Edit: Clicking 'Restart Tournament' seems to spawn a worker that pushes my CPU over 100%. Open source your code, perhaps?

It works if I click Reset Tournament, but when I first loaded the page it didn't work and just showed the "You have chosen the winner" message.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There is a "blind mode" that hides the font names.

Yes, try the blind mode button, I just added it!

The name isn't intuitive. A description of the function would be better. "Hide font names".
