It's not COBOL, therefore it's not real programming.

7-13!

I expect much more from my kids by that age - they should at least be writing their own linux kernels...

The youth of today! Tssh.

They would do one about databases but you'd need more than one table to play properly 😉

....and by the time you finish the game, the user no longer needs it, or has found a 'neat way' of doing it in Excel than only he understands....

great jokes btw 🙂

I'd do a database joke but I don't feel I can TOP any on here.

[Note: SQL server only, this isn't not an Oracle compatible joke]

I'm switching to another thread, too much word play here to byte off.

To be realistic the game should include :
- A Powerpoint presentation showing how completing the game will increase company revenue by over 600%
- An incomprehensible and contradictory 300 page requirements statement
- An architectural diagram showing the major components of the game and how they interact
- A Gantt chart showing that the game won't be completed until August 2015

Surely they've excluded 90% of their market by making it 2+ players!?
