That's your problem right there. We convinced the teacher of it's historical merits and brought the game to class each day to play after we completed our assignments!
Hahaha. Just last week I was telling my wife I should make a "buy me a coffee" site to learn how to integrate with Stripe and other payment platforms, pad my resume, have a few lulz, and maybe even get a coffee.
And... There's already a SaaS for that. Well done.
As a kid, someone gave me a subscription to "3-2-1 Contact", a children's science magazine. Towards the back there'd be 1 or 2 pages of source code for a "game" written in BASIC. The one that still sticks in my mind was a a text-only downhill derby where you selected from a couple options for hill steepness, axle lubrication, and maybe car shape, and it would return how fast your car completed the race. There might have been fewer than 50 lines.
I didn't even have a computer at the time, but I was hooked.
The magazine format changed a couple years later, and they stopped including programs.
But when we started using computers at school, I remembered the instructions for accessing BASIC on our Apple II's, and thus me and my friends were introduced to programming.
I was excited to see a number of silent movies on Amazon Prime Video, but gave up in disgust after trying only a couple. None of the music even remotely matched the film, even when Wikipedia says a full orchestral score was originally produced.
Instead, each was backed by a piano playing Scott Joplin ragtime songs.
Nothing like watching the hero getting struck by an arrow in a sudden betrayal while listening to the Entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag.
