    PLUGH! XYZZY! Dredging my memory for the first version I played. It was written in FORTRAN as I recall, ported from DEC-something to Interdata 32bit. Late 1970s? Played on a TTY so you could cheat by looking back to previous runs. One of my colleagues mapped the cave on about 6 sheets of 11x15 line printer paper. He had immense trouble with the "all alike" maze. ;P ;P Cheers, Peter

      I'm curious - I still love to code but I also love to do other stuff in my spare time (when I get any!). What do you guys do and, if you could, would you swap coding for your primary hobby if you could make money?

          Specialized on tulips, no doubt.

                Horse riding and snooker. Learned to ride a horse 4 years ago when I was 46 mainly to have a shared interest with my partner and loved it. My nag (a 16.2 Irish Draught x TB) and I entered our first jumping competition last year over the baby jumps and won it, so this year we're aiming towards working-hunter classes at a local level. Just returned to snooker after a 25 gap and forgot how much I loved the game, and just how bloody difficult it is! I'll probably never get back to my best (county-level amateur) standard, but will give it my best effort. If I was able to make a living at them would I swap?.. Yes, in a heartbeat. Life's too short to be wishing your life away in IT management if you have any other viable option.

                  Genealogical research and science fiction. No, I prefer to keep my hobbies as hobbies.

                    Volunteer on a heritage railway (portering and loco restoration); wildlife + environmental stuff. Not sure I'd want to do anything on a full-time basis, but it would be nice to be paid for doing stuff I really enjoy. Though as others say, once you get paid for it and have to go to "work" then I think almost anything would lose some of its shine.

                      Recent time, I'm tired of coding & really don't want to code much anymore at work. It's been 14+ years. Ofcourse it's not that much long as I have seen coders with 30+ years exp. even in CP. I think current era making things crazy on coding to me. So planning to move away from coding. BTW I have babies[^] & 'll take care of them. Apart from work personally I'm planning to create utilities(Freeware/Opensource). And I don't want to use big softwares for development. I want to use lightweight applications like Electron[^] or NW.js[^].

                                    I play Bass, but I wouldn't want to get paid for anything I do purely for enjoyment, the moment you do that it becomes work not fun... (I learnt that with electronics and programming!)
