    Last week, someone asked about what they could do at home for a project.. that got me thinking - I haven't done any programming at home for a while. So... downloaded VS 2015 Community Edition today on the home environment and sparking it up to start a project. When I've written it, I will probably publish it.

      While I do code (occasionally) at work, it is more administration than coding... and I miss it. So... start somewhere.

                I'm working on a home project based on two important facts: 0. We have a large amount of fruit growing in our garden. 1. Home distillation is legal in Hungary.

                    Commodore PET, Commodore 64, Commodore Assembler, VAX/VMS, Fortran, VMS Assembler, FMS, C Then VB, SQL Server and finally .NET It's hard to break old programming habits, that is part of the reason for the home project. Try to avoid public/global variables.

                      Do you have juniper trees growing in your garden?

                      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                        Created a game in high school on a Commodore PET; rewrote it for a Commodore 64. Hope to reproduce it in .NET without public/global variables, but keep the same look and feel.

                          How very dare you! Fig, plum, apple, pear, kiki, cherry and lemon, but no juniper.

                                  Curious, if it's a completely stand alone as-is item (game), not a module/extension/dll library why does that even matter? Like pouring a bottle of beer into a glass to drink it when you're the only one at home - just making extra work for total zero gain.

                                      I used to make video games in the 80's and early 90's on C64, Apple IIgs, Amiga. Haven't done any game dev since then. So I decided to do my own home hobby project recently. SpaceBlaster.io, currently in the works but fully playable multi-player asteroids-like shooter done entirely in javascript/nodejs.

                                        Good, because I'll need a power-flow manager for my lightsabre, when somebody finally makes one for me.

                                        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                          Don't use company laptop or any of their resources... if you do, you might have problems at the end.

                                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
