Welcome to Buildr, the Builder AU labs. We've been busy cooking up some new community features and enhancements -- some will fly, some won't.
If you have an idea or some code to contribute, give us a yell.
Tetris
The old gaming classic has found its way into a Javascript version. There's simply no better way to avoid working than calling up a Web page with Tetris.
Colour Picker
Forget starting up a paint program simply to find out the RGB value of a colour that you need for a Web page -- use our colour picker and you can save the colours you are after.
Code Search
Taking advantage of Google's APIs allows us to provide more examples of code than we could otherwise.
Zeitgeist
Learn about the Builder readership using statistics from over the past month. Our zeitgeist provides stats for browsers, operating systems, screen resolutions, % use of Java, Javscript and Flash.
Bingo
Meetings getting too much? Need something to pass the time? Then you need to play Builder's Buzzword Bingo. Mark off the words as you hear then and be the winner!
