The team only had one computer, so they would have to take turns with it. So they work out all of their code with pencil and paper so when it came to be their turn on the computer they just had to type it up, and then make sure it was working properly. And if it wasnt, figuring out why was once again done on paper to not hold up the next persons turn on the computer. <cite>rick_alverado posted [p:985173953] in Most game ...
