Wow, I imagined this only as couple of screens plus game mechanics, it's way more impressive than that.
It seems appropriate to bring up Masters of Doom here - I would recommend reading it if you are at all interested in Carmack, Romero, gamedev, programming, startups... so basically all HN users. It's a great book.
- narrator 11y agoMasters of Doom is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it. I don't think there's really a book out there that follows the life and exploits of a great programmer like Carmack in so much detail.
- unixhero 11y agoI highly recommend the book as well. I consumed it by audiobook while driving. A great experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuU_ure7tF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuU_ure7tF4 "The computer, it contained worlds." Which is incidentally the exact same thing I have been saying to people when asked why I was so into computers as a kid.
