Re:Unfinished game – learn by practice by themodelplumber on Monday October 06, 2014 @02:20PM (#8417282)
I love this! I did something similar when a local high school student asked to shadow me for a day. He said he'd never done any programming but really wanted to learn. His parents were currently on welfare and his dad needed him around to help with a disability. I decided that rather than ask him to do mundane webdev tasks, I'd download a PyGame game that I'd been working on, make some changes to break it, and then ask him to work on the game. After the game was fixed, I asked him to look at another game and figure out how to add an audio track. Anyway, he had a fun time and I thought, "I wonder if anyone will ever do this sort of thing on a larger scale." :-) So I'm really happy to see it. Thanks again.
