And, of course, who could forget Calvin’s implementation of Minesweeper in pure VFP code.

Damn - I can't believe someone did an entire RPG.
So - FYI - a tiny back story for me...
For those that know me - and know I'm a serious 3D Printing guy - I've been doing computer graphics - and even 3D graphics - as far back as 1980 on an Apple II.
Well, when I was working this job in NYC for several years (doing VFP work), during my lunch breaks - I had decided to do a pet project. Because of my intense interest in CG - and I knew that in VFP you could display graphical characters. That's when I decided to do a copy of the BrickOut video game. Because the graphics for that would be simple enough to do. And, I did have a basic version running by the end. Interact purely via keyboard - and the bricks would disappear when hit. But, I didn't get so far as doing any scoring display.
I did want to follow it up by doing a Space Invaders game - but, I never got around to it...
