I don't get why people criticise the game here. If I understand correctly it's not really a remake but a copy of an old game which was simply made available to us with all it's flaws, bugs and other happy memories.
- simonh 12y agoHammurabi has been my go-to project to recreate in many of the languages I learn since the 80s. It's just complex enough that you can usefuly experiment with various features of a new language. IMHO it's a case where the bugs are a feature. It's simple to implement but there are numerous small ways you can tweak it to make improvements. That make it a fantastic project for learning to program because completing the initial clone version is really just the starting point.
- erikb 12y agoI think that's a really smart way to improve your coding. Recoding an old game is nothing too hard but offers enough challenges that you really need to use the features of the language you are learning.
