hey, there is an inherent fun in maing games/programs using things that were never meant to.
once i did a CPU/RAM emulator using excel, so you could see every bit.
it was fun to make loops, and programs
This is how I got into game development myself. I used to use Javascript to make dumb little interactive games in the early 2000s before it was ever meant to do such things, emulating what is now modern day HTML5 canvas and such
bes way to learn is by doing what you're not supposed to
True enough! Mistakes are the best teacher. That said, I'm still making games in Javascript to this day, so I guess you can say I haven't learned enough lol.
