Well met, fellow players.
I'm Lovelace, and I've had this handle for over 20 years on various online games. Back in 1991, when WWW did NOT exist, there only were text-based games, MUDS, and MUSHes (multi-user dungeon, multi-user-shared-hallucination) games, all coded in C++.
I've been playing since then. I coded my own muds, i let robots roam around killing player characters when they failed to go n,s,w,e, u,d, in time. They drank their coffee and ate their muffins and emptied their bags whenever they met a shop. This, too, is a MUD. Yes, you have a visual interface, but nothing has changed. The map you see, are coordinates. It's all just a text-based game. But you did not realize that. That is okay, that is fine, but I hope I made you think twice about the generation you would call old farts. We invented this poop. We coded it. You still have to prove you can do better.
"generation you would call old farts" why, you young whippersnapper <<yeah, I know, but I was an old fart first. I hit 'Old Fart' at 50 and then 'Geezer' at 60, and I have been an 'Old Coot' for 23 months now>>
"I'm Lovelace, and I've had this handle for over 20 years" I have been sargas since the mid-70's (and have been computer literate since 1965)...
