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?




Sorry I went to sleep and woke to the app not working. Stupidly used Google Fonts API when I really don't have to, was being lazy. It is fixed now! Please try again?


Still not working for me


This is the ultimate troll - your winning coding font is times new roman!


Nothing like some good ol' Comic Sans in the world's best IDE: Microsoft Word. Also all spaces are now Unicode spaces.


No joke: my 70-something IBM veteran C++ class teacher in high school used Comic Sans in Visual Studio. Every time he shared his screen on the projector me and my buddy chuckled. He was so literal that it was either really good dry humor, or the dude genuinely liked coding in Comic Sans.


Maybe he had dyslexia and had worked out what is now relatively better-known, that Comic Sans is actually really readable for people with dyslexia-spectrum issues.


That's not necessarily true[0]. It's a widely repeated claim but there doesn't seem to be much actual evidence supporting it. Rather it seems that letter size and spacing are the main factor when trying to make text more readable to dyslectics.

Did you heard about the 'Comic Mono' font?

https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font


I use "comic code" as my daily driver monospace font as it's good for dyslexia having unique characters for like "d" and "b" that aren't mirrored reflections.

I always get a comment on the font when I screenshare...

Another font with dyslexia in mind: OpenDyslexic https://opendyslexic.org/


I had a student who used Apple Chancery in her IDE, no joke.


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.


Ouch:

Yes, I hit the limit for Google Fonts API. It is fixed now. I moved off the API service. :)


I have offsite fonts blocked, so I wonder if I would have seen these anyways. From that response, it looks like it would just include a webfont directly from Google.


Same here. Might be a rate limit thing, lots of stuff not loading.


Same here. I loved the idea.


same for me
