i've designed a game that helps me never lose interest in programming.
it is, in essence, a programming game.
how it works is it's build around a virtual machine, right?
now when you start up the virtual machine a special script goes on to the internet & googles mixtures of pseudo-random keywords (keywords unrelated to programming)until it finds a website containing open source code.
the script then downloads the full source & translates it into a special 'game language' which i have named "FLfPi" or "Fun Language for Programming in" (it's like a mixture of C, & html, vb6, & asm).
the program then removes random parts of code(leaving the comments intact).
the objective of the game is to rewrite the modules, functions, & classes, etc that have been removed; basically, get the code working again.
it still needs some refining, but i'll upload the game when i'm finished (i think it will be VERY popular, so i don't want to release it with lots of bugs).
