TIB: Re: Wasting Time




A couple things to consider...
1) Games are a good programming experience, more so than say databases.
2) Not everyone can afford a larger computer. For those students with
limited
resources, the TI is a good start.
3) Most good games are an evolution. Each person adds to what others have
done.
What have you done?
