So it’s been brought to my attention that the Dot Game is inferior and deficient because it was written in, ahem, it’s hard for me to admit this … Script. Apparently, only freaks use Script.
See, I thought the most important thing to you, the player, was the actual playing of the game, while the most important thing to me was, you know, actually creating the game quickly and easily.

Silly me, there I go again focusing on the end result and not the process. I’ll remove the Dot Game immediately and re-post it in about 18 months when I’ve re-created it in a mature language.

We love the Dot Game, and we don’t care what language you used. You are the best Dad ever!

make sure when you do this rewrite that you post a full set of requirements, design documentation and a test plan for review.
