The new forum bar looks pretty cool, too -- I like the combination of green and blue
Thanks. It's not finished, I'll try to make it even better.

Will you use a blue bar on the website too? ;) I like it much better than everything in green.

Just the bar? Or replace every green thing with blue? :P

I guess only the bar -- the green itself looks nice, it's just, well, everywhere. ;) It's especially a nice contrast to the logo in my opinion.

Yeah, you need a much nicer 403 and 404 message
Like what?

See e.g., http://python.org/333, which prints:

Quote
The URL you requested was not found on this server.
Try our home page(link), or our search engines(link) - or use one of the other links on the left hand navigation.

So you just need a line to tell the user how to resolve the error, e.g., by going to the main page.

Also I found a good reference, from http://alistapart.com/article/perfect404: a 404 should have:
- A link to the site map (if you have one) and the home page.  This is the easiest way for users to bail out.
- A search box. If you have a site search, add it to your 404 page.
- A distinctly minimalist look.

And I'll leave this here for fun: https://github.com/adwdw

Hum... I'm pretty sure people will be able to find the main menu without an explicit mention in the error message, don't you think? :P

I tried your suggestion. Although the green logo on blue bar looks good, the rest of the website looks strange. I agree that green everywhere is not fun, but it still looks better.

Okay, at least it was worth a try. :)

In the tutorial on Transforms, the word 'positioned' has an extra n.

Quote
By default, entities are positionned relatively to their top-left corner; we'll see later how to change that with the 'origin' property.

By default, the sprite is positionned/rotated/scaled relatively to its top-left corner, because it is the local point (0, 0). But if we change the origin to be (5, 5), the sprite will be positionned/rotated/scaled around its center instead.

Positioned is spelled wrong in the documentation on the Transformable class.

Typo in the network packet tutorial.
