 Steps to make a game waterfall style:
 
 Lay out all the data structures 
 
 Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
 
 Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
 like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
 
 Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
 graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job
 anyway

 heh true - my roots in role-playing games are directly from the playground, so
 it makes sense that I'd gravitate away from dice that are hard to roll when
 you're on a hike or bike ride. Can only really play D&D on a bike when
 you're in the country though, otherwise the sounds of a city are too noisy.
 
 Also, systems that are so simple you can keep a character sheet in your mind.

 all apartment doors should have a 100% local webcam next to the eye-hole that
 only the resident can see. Not even wireless data transfer allowed. But simple
 enough to be programmable with a bash script. In addition, the entire building
 should have cameras that only the people who live there can view (just like,
 the parking lot and such) so they can watch for raccoons.

 the more you try, the more you have to calculate, which is a problem, because
 endlessly recursive calculations create infinite loops, which frankly are
 impossible to compute because they defy computation! Not good, not ideal, no

 thanks to the internet, people in suburbs are no less radical than people in
 the cities.
 
 often, just less experienced. less connected. greater distance between ties...
 
 which means that if one of them is found, it'll take a while before their
 relations can be dispatched.

 Okay bear with me, but, what if we took the AI that they use to play games
 (like, the kind that memorize the best way to play space invaders or whatever)
 and instead of A and B and start and select they could use programming
 languages to try and recreate exactly a winning move, which in this case is
 just the exact behavior that is created by the test case playthrough of Super
 Mario Bros or Space Invaders. Free open source everygame!

 the arcane and [nebulous/confabulous/incomprehensible] way that physical
 nature demands our absurdly potentialized computational endeavors be.

 It's so sad how some of the best games ever made get glossed over because the
 fun you remember is the friendship and fantasy you felt rather than the game

 time marches forward, and culture changes to no longer fit the old tools quite
 right. Plus they look like PS1 graphics ewwwwww look at those muddy textures
 and blocky bits arranged into triangles and meshes! how dorky, how retro
