What percentage of your generation was actually writing games on school computers? 0.1%? If that. That number is definitely higher today, given that they have computer programming classes in schools now.
I get that you're trying to make a self aware joke about your comment with the old man shaking his cane. But this comment really is completely out of touch with reality.
- evanmoran 3y agoI myself got into game programming by moding Quake and StarCraft. I’d guess a ton of people who ended up as programmers did this. So I think you’re right almost no students did anything with computers, but I’d say easily 50% of people who could code at all tried to make games and often school computers were all we had. Thankfully the computers had unbelievably bad security so it wasn’t super hard to get stuff going :)
