  The key take away from this is - you are lucky to have responsible parents that would only allow you to play 30 minutes a day. The root of all of your success is this.

  I have been a C systems coder for over 40 years. I&apos;m retired now but I still code. I have listened to many of your videos and find your method of teaching as well as your coding approach inspiring. At the age of 71 I find a great deal of joy in your work, and I applaud you as one who &apos;goes his own way&apos; in your coding technique.<br><br>Thank you so much for pointing out the fact that Game Jams are an excellent way to forge a career in game programming. You have helped me make a decision of what framework to use and since I am a &apos;C&apos; coder I have settled on SDL2 for coding up my games. Python looks very intriguing, but I don&apos;t think I could get past the fact that there are no braces to block off code segments. I suppose I could try one game to see how it goes.<br><br>I wish you great success my young friend with the hopes that when you reach my age you are still coding games.<br><br>God Bless You

  It’s crazy how much you improved over 10 years!

  The guy is being humble, some of the stuff he just brushed over was extremely impressive. I am excited for the kids that are inspired by this video, they will have such high standards set for themselves.

  A decade of development is crazy, hope for much more in the future!

  I don&apos;t think &apos;not following any tutorials&apos; was a mistake. You learn a lot better figuring out stuff yourself. It might take longer to finish your project, but it will pay off in spades in later projects.

  I really love this type of videos, they&apos;re really inspiring!<br>I&apos;m currently starting my 3rd year of gamedev, I have 10 games so far (8 of them made for jams), and I&apos;m currently working on turning my best jam game so far into a commercial project! Let&apos;s hope I&apos;ll be as skilled as you are by the time I reach my 10th year ;)

  Your journey so inspirational. I&apos;ve been learning Python for a few years now, and recently started my pygame career. My games aren&apos;t too complex, but one day I&apos;ll reach your level!

  Dude, I learned PyGame with one of your tutorials a long time ago and that was my first real solid contact with classes and heuristic methods. From there I started to code simulations of metabolic networks as a physics grad student using the same design patterns as sprites and now I work as a web developer. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been visiting your work for almost the full decade and you&apos;re one of my all-time strongest personal inspirations that helped defining my way of thinking and work ethics. Approaching complex problems from zero and creating entire frameworks from scratch, no matter how long and challenging it may be, has been my philosophy since then. You pretty much ignited my passion for coding and I&apos;m so proud of how far you went and how absolutely gorgeous your games have become. Thank you so much for the content and kawabanga.

  As a professional software dev, I&apos;ve known all the fundamentals for years and I&apos;ve yet to make games as fun and appealing as yours. I love this video because you zoned in on the right thing, making games. <br><br>Glad you were able to step back to see how far you&apos;ve come. And the last 2 projects in particular look exciting. Keep it up!
