- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…

It can be colorful, rather dynamic, relatively compact (for multimedia content), and easily integrated into web pages or even completely replace them.

- Imitate 2.51, You Think It's Easy? — A really involving game can be of two kinds: either a tricky and unusual game play or a simple game play and an ingeniously smart opponent. Computer game designers (especially, puzzle designers) tend to prefer the first way. Their reasons are understandable: inventing new rules is much more easier than programming a humanly «smart» computer-based opponent. But sometimes there are fortunate exclusions…

- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
