No screenshots? ;p

Also - IMNSHO the obvious name for this project is Zoom - but that's been taken by a similar game where you slay your coworkers by talking too much.

The next obvious candidate therefore is Dork :)

No argument from me; your suggested names are spot on for the game comprised of the resultant melange. Albeit, I still maintain that Wadzilla is the exactly correct name for the tool that creates the mashup.

Also.. screenshots? Of text. Text describing a 2.5D world comprised of 2D graphics rendered in 3D for presentation on a 2D display in our 3D world? Yeah, you’ve got the spirit! :-)

A screenshot as in a graphical representation of a typical screen during a game would be nice. It could be a text block in monospaced font.

Yeah guys, I was just joshing, and actually if it isn’t obvious, I was joshing in a positive way (hence the “spirit” comment; I think it’s a good idea.)

In the mean time, I tried to document the limitations and make it clear that I didn’t consider it plug-and-play, and that I will appreciate feedback, bug reports, and PRs.

I will prioritize addressing things from the comments here, as well as taking advantage of the documentation talk are graciously writing. ;-)

Please no dictionary words! Some of us search for things around here you know.

How about calling it "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" ?
