Graphic designers might enjoy wasting a few minutes on Rag Time, a game that challenges players to even out paragraphs of ragged text while racing against the clock. You can't use a mouse to position your cursor, though, so I found it frustrating and kept running out of time! Give it a try right here.

ReplyDeleteTrue, but some lines will still break in unattractive or illogical ways and require manual adjustment. Though with soft returns, not hard returns like in this game.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, a busman's holiday for me. As a typographer I spend my life doing just this! Its much more satisfying in real life though when you can navigate with a mouse. Not enough time with this game, but a great idea. x
ReplyDeleteSound more exciting than watching movie.
ReplyDeleteWow, it`s hard! It took me quite a while to get used to not using the mouse!
ReplyDeleteWow, let's see :)
ReplyDeleteFun and informative! Good explaination at the beginning of the game.
ReplyDeleteI actually finished one! Prost! Got a low score, though. Schiesser.
