I regularly check traffic on my GitHub project, and writing or updating an article on this site results in a significant increase in interest. So thank you to Chris, Matthew, and everyone else who makes CodeProject possible.
Yesterday, however, is hard to explain: 6 unique cloners and--get this--1,443 clones. I would provide a link, but I can't see traffic on other projects, so I don't think the link would work for anyone else. Did someone run an insane script? I don't recall there ever being more than a dozen downloads.

Law or disease?

So an insane script is the most likely explanation! Thanks for the link.

Greg,
I reviewed your code multiple times over the last week. The THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST comments were the result of that. Because I had no intentions of using your library I deleted it. I cloned it again when you posted your 'Restart' article to review that part too.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

After reaching 200 consecutive games without a loss in hard mode in Ravi's knock-off, it's lost most of its charm. I think the fact that there's only one play per day is what's keeping so many people captivated.

Sure enough, the squares are black if you play in dark mode, and white otherwise.
|
|

I was joking, but thanks, this led me to discover both the dark mode, and the hard mode in the settings.

Marathon? I do not know the solution though as I can't figure how "Mar" comes from.

Spoil = Mar
New hat on means an anagram of hat on
which gives you marathon

Exactly right!

Thanks! I was wondering what does "new" have to do with Mar. I was looking at spoil as anagram indicator.

Eddy talked about DOS in the thread below, so let me throw some obligatory nostalgia at you. 
And for youngsters, you'll never know that satisfaction feeling of successfully extending RAM usage for Doom to play (by modifying autoexec.bat) or resolve that IRQ confilct while tuning your brand new Soundblaster 16

And for increasing file handles for Foxpro and Clipper programmes
In Config.sys or latterly Config.nt
FILES=100

EMM386 or HIMEM? Which Mouse.com do I use?
If I load the mouse first, then the soundblaster, I can save 512 bytes ...
It took longer to get some games running with mouse and sound than the game took to play!
