With this guy clearly being such a talented programmer, it&#x27;s too bad he hasn&#x27;t taken up some FOSS game programming as a hobby, just to &quot;scratch the itch&quot;.  It&#x27;d be great to have a really great old-school side-scroller; I wonder what he could come up with using more modern tools if he really wanted to make a new game.  And this time, he could take as much time as he needs.
