"it's all numbers". I THINK I'VE CRACKED IT LADS

hmmm altho there are text-based football managers, i did quite like "software house" where you had to produce games and hire coders and look at the reviewsl ol, it's all numbers

Software shortage! "Gods, I was strong then!"

mirrorbird (22:11:12)
the only appeal i can see in most sports is "let's get some exercise" so playing sport on a computer screen is pure mystery to me

mirrorbird (22:10:23)
*and* there was a software shortage. ahh perfect breeding conditions

velu: that nice book i bought (YEAH bought, unlike half their games) about the history of Gremlin Graphics explained how it started as a tiny computer demo shop and they just naturally attracted kids, some of whom could do code, gfx or music

velusip (22:09:03)
Unlike the actual rental stores which had 50 copies of terrible games, usually sports.

mirrorbird (22:08:58)
how do places do this that measure KLOC

mirrorbird (22:08:50)
how should one conventionally count "lines of code"? i mean, ignore anything that just says { or }

velusip (22:08:15)
th4t1guy, there's always that one little mom and pop shop who quietly set up a games rental wall, and actually talk with the kids about which games they should get.
