Hunh? Not heard that one before. Have a link?

He means that he wants to try to make a program that fills up your screen and induces seizures, just like the Japanese version of Pokemon did.


Ah, Pikachu.
 


I suspect he's planning on designing a website and wants to know what screen resolution it should be targeted for.

That's exactly it.

Or maybe he wants to try his homemade "Pokemon" flashing light effects that cause uncontrollable seizure like the incidents in Japan. I'm not falling for that trick.

Ooo-kay... no, that's not it. ;)
 

The best sites don't design for an absolute screen size. I'm a professional web designer and developer and I'd expect a baseline of 600px wide screens (usable width is less because of scroll bars etc). The important thing is to make sure it will work on that and bigger OK.

Cheers
 

800x600 at one, higher and wider on another (not sure).

I need the big icons and large text. Getting old or something. :)

And I try to avoid "fixing" a size on my websites, though if you're lower than 800 I'm not specifically trying to make things work out right for you. :)

I've found that it's nearly impossible to avoid designing for an absolute screen size, and build something reasonably close to what marketing wants (and where I work, the web department is under marketing) in a reasonable timeframe.
