Just like I always thought: Accountants have WAY too little to do at work... ;)

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932 -
Tried it - crashed after I met the first enemy.* Sums it up pretty accurately : Accountants are all good and nice until the first trouble arise. *Have a german version of Excel. I doubt any American MBA candidate accountant thought about localization - at least these makes three reasons why they would not.

My favorite game is called "Visual Studio". The goal of the game is to write some code. If it compiles correctly with no warnings or errors, you win the first level. If it runs correctly, you win the next level. If you get it to run correctly on somebody else's system, that is the next level. ... If you can package it into an installer, the next. I've been playing it for years. I am at level 42. [I'm also Canadian. Ha!]

If you do this first time you are not a real programmer.

Ha ha - my first program ever (literally) compiled and ran correctly the first time. It was FORTRAN, and I summed the numbers from 1 to 10 and printed the result (not that trivial in FORTRAN). Whenever I learn a new language, this is my own personal canonical first program. So I don't ever do "Hello world" you see. Maybe that is why I am a software developer, not a programmer.

... This is even more difficult since it VS crashes several times a day and you have to restart the game from the last checkpoint...

That's nothing compared to the Excel version of PacMan that was doing the round a few years ago: http://www.geocities.jp/nchikada/pac/[^] Words cannot describe just how awesome that is!

My first program ever was written in assembler and worked perfectly the first time. When the results came rattling back over the teletype it consisted of just a single character, "4". Guess what the program did!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Print "4"? Do I get my £5?

Nope. I'm using an English version (Canadian English, maybe that's the problem????? ;p)and it also crashed after the first enemy. Back to the drawing board Mr. Canadian Accountant! :D -EM

But Pacman has been around for some time in Excel arstechnica.com/gaming/2006 :laugh:
