You quite clearly have no passion for this game you have created. If you did, then you would want to pursue it at all costs. Since you have no passion for it, I suggest you give up. Pac-Man, as I have stated, is a work of art. That work of art was born out of passion. This is the case with all works of art. Do you think that Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel halfheartedly? Do you think that Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet out of sheer boredom? Do you think that Charlie Chaplin wrote The Great Dictator without caring if it would inspire people? Do you think that Mozart composed Leck mich im Arsch without having any worries whatsoever as to whether his music would bring joy to people? Do you think that Jim Davis made the first Garfield comic without believing that his purpose in life was to bring laughter and joy into this cold dark world? Of course not! They all created great works of art because they had passion! In my experience, computer scientists have no artistic creativity and as a result, have no passion. Their lives are dominated by numbers and code, and so anything other than numbers and code is alien to them. When they die, the inscriptions on their tombstones will probably be in binary.teo123 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 10:11 am Ideas for computer games (or almost any kind of program) are abundant.
Ideas about what should be made are usually worthless. Because, first of all, you can't really know if something is a good idea until somebody realizes it. Even then it can be hard to tell, yet alone before. I came up with an idea for and developed a flashcard game about linguistics. Is it worth to continue developing it? Who knows?
I think it is very rare that computer scientists will ever be inspired by anything. I remember recently hearing about an announcement made by Angela Rayner, the Shadow Secretary of Education in the United Kingdom, that she was planning to run for Deputy Leader of the British Labour Party. I know for a fact that she is intensely passionate about her campaign, which is why her message is one of optimism and hope. I am inspired by her campaign. I cannot imagine any computer scientists feeling the same way. Why? Because in my experience, computer scientists do not live in the real world but in the world of computers. No passion. No goals. No hope. I think that the great Alan Turing would be spinning in his grave if he could see how many computer scientists are behaving.
I shall conclude with a quote from Roald Dahl: " I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be."
