Introversion Software, who made the movie-style hacking game Uplink, also have a game called DEFCON which is an atmospheric, minimalist global nuclear war simulator. http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/ "The World's first Genocide 'em up! It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least." I love those guys :)

That game was pretty cool, back in the day.

sorry about that - you shouldn't need to. what browser are you using? I obviously haven't tested them all thoroughly enough.

#18So, late yesterday, I got most of that all dialed in now and it should look and perform a little better today (except maybe for folks in very far away places?).
Lastly, I put off changing the full page load into an ajax request in order to generate a new war scenario because, well, some of the most popular generators out there do a full page load (including the ones that I referenced), so why not me? Trust me, I know how to do it, but, based on the traffic and the feedback, it's clearly not holding people people up from using it.
Any other feedback? Performance issues? Mobile issues? Layout? Other suggestions?
Thanks again to all who took the time to comment, especially the critics. It's clearly a site I made on a whim, but, even though it's just for fun, I took the feedback seriously in order to make sure it stays fun.
