"There are undeniably lots of games where the story is the entire point, and they can be done well. I do still hold that the most important games have been all about the play, not the story"
- John Carmack

Imho, he is right. All of my favorite games have great gameplay. I have some that have a good story too, but I like them mainly because of the gameplay. :mastosunglasses:

#today I read more #CodeComplete. Another green highlighter faded out much to my progressive satisfaction.
From the book, I had welcome #memories revisit from #HighSchool back when I programmed in #BASIC off of #FloppyDisks. Particularly, when I became more familiar with #goto, helped a classmate along, and somehow intuitively excelled at a re-test such that my teacher accused me of cheating.
