    I'm pretty sure you care more about this than Nintendo ever will. Get off your high horse. As someone who has never used PyGame, this is really cool to look into and learn from.

    most of the commits are done on the last days... some of them are just some line changes... (https://github.com/justinmeister/Mario-Level-1/commit/586b964b812d1f2f60202cdd7aa1446474dd099f https://github.com/justinmeister/Mario-Level-1/commit/586b96...) I code on my free time too, On the night I turn on my laptop and code for a couple hours, I am a bussiness owner, most of my day is related with other activities, and I just want to think in another thing and relax. Coding it's the perfect choice, but you need a project to feel motivated, something not related with your day work and something easy enough to be accomplished in a couple days (so you can fell your progress and feel proud). I see he completed level 1, my intuition says he won't go more far away to another level, because he just got the satisfaction he needed. Probably now he will choose another project and develop it.

  Exactly. You do it for the same reason why people try to paint famous works of art. You get to really see many of the pain points that the original artist went through and connect with something on a different level unlike any casual observer. In this case, the medium that is being used for the implementation is different, but you still get to solve many of the same problems.
