If they did it once then why not keep doing it?
If I was a programmer, I wouldn't have a problem doing that, it would be part of my joy to do it.
- I get it that Graf has gotten tired of it, so what he can fuck off, he can spend his time working for real at a real job and make more money for himself. We dont need to hear from him again.
- Someone else would be delighted to take it up im quite sure of that

> if you cant program you're severely limited in what you can do with a computer
Then why dont common computers come with compilers and IDEs. You have to obtain that shit from somewhere else after you've gotten your computer set up.
For YEARS I have been angry about there not being middlemen software, so that someone who's a foreman, or a businessman, who doesnt have time for this shit can make a Program to do things they need it to do. Even if its inefficient.
> sorta like the Macros systems in office software, except for executables.
Programmers should be Software Engineers. Capable of Assembly Language.

The easy way to branch off would have been to extend ACS, and if people wanted to go for that it they could. Yes im very well aware of what ACS is and some of the things people do with it. And that would have been the ticket for people who wanted to do more complex things.
> why hold people's hand with programming by having it all compiled in realtime, why not make people compile it too?
Meanwhile leaving the emphasis on Decorate... and even changing the name of Decorate to something like "ACTORS" lump or more appropriate. Because its no longer just about being able to add more scenery decorations like it was in the first versions.
Keep adding the new actions and tricks in a decorate environment FIRST, while simply making them accessible from the scripting/ACS side of things.
> so that non-programmers can join in on the creative stuff
Hard Wall.
Same rules that applied in 1999 apply in 2019.
You're either catering to those people or YOU ARE NOT.

The 80s were such a wild time.
