I actually got turned down by Chuckles for my first 'real' programming job ... They wanted someone that actually played the games :-) It was a neat experience interviewing though - I was really surprised they had offices in New Hampshire.

This guy? Chuck "Chuckles" Beuche? they interview him on the "Apple Time Warp" series. He wrote "Caverns of Calisito" at origin. The optimizations they came up with to make things work was crazy. (I think they were drawing every third line to speed things up and had self modifying code). https://appletimewarp.libsyn.com/ https://appletimewarp.libsyn.com/ or youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0o94loqgK3CMz7VEkDiIgA/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0o94loqgK3CMz7VEkDiIgA/vid... good resource on Apple programing 40ish years ago.
