You can also mark a location (one way is to hit the space bar) so that you can get relative coordinates. Snapshots can be taken and colors can be copied to the clipboard.</td> </tr> </tbody></table> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><img src="http://www.grogware.com/_Media/picture_2.png" alt="Picture 2" /><br /> </span></p> </div> Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:20:43 -0600 http://www.grogware.com/software/magnifier.php http://www.grogware.com/software/waurie.php <div class="article-thumbnail"> <img src="http://www.grogware.com/_Media/waurie.png" alt="Waurie" width="128" height="128" /> </div> <div><p><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><table width="100%" cellspacing="5" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <tbody><tr align="left" valign="top"> <td class="comic" nowrap="" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; white-space: normal;"><table width="100%" cellspacing="5" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <tbody><tr align="left" valign="top"> <td class="comic" nowrap="" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">What is this?</td> <td class="comic" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It's a computer version of a Mancala type board game.
