Re: QOTW



Keep it simple.

The "funnest" game is the game you can keep improving to make more fun.

If you code a simple project, even if initially dull as dud, you can start
interacting and start improving.

If you start on a too ambitious project that takes a long time to get
interactive, you may have wasted a lot of coding time before knowing whether
it is fun.
