I think the reward / visual feedback thing is nice. I never really
liked strategy or role playing games because I don't particularly like
the mythology angle but I always enjoyed the statistics element of
attaining and collecting points and I think your application of
something similar is good.

Thx. Yeah, as corny as gold stars are, they work.


The only thing I found a bit confusing, but which probably makes more
sense when using the program itself, is the unlabeled yellow and blue
buttons and bars that appeared (I couldn't read all of the explanatory
text in Firefox last night so I may have missed some details).

The default will be that "tool tips" will be on, so one can always learn what something does by pausing for two seconds over a control.


Which of your Cell* technologies are in play here?

Cello atop Celtk atop Cells.
