You think I am just a hopeless nerd

And you've played so many games

I guess it might be so

But still I can not see

If the hopeless one is me

How can there be so much that you don't know?

You don't know...

You think there is no art in the programs

A program is just a dead thing that runs the game

But I know every sprite and thing and feature

Is an object, has a class, has a name

You think that the only some art matters

Only the graphics or the story or the sound

But if you take a look behind the surface

You'll find things you never would have found

Have you ever found the wonder of the code

Or danced with the numbers and the strings?

Can you design the classes of the objects?

Can you code with the completeness of Turing?

Can you code with the completeness of Turing?

Come learn the wonders of recursion

Come risk a bit of pointer math

Come take joy in the algorithms all around you

And for once, never worry about feedback

The object and the function are my brothers

The method and the lambda are my friends

And it is all connected to each other

All just machine code in the end

And how was this game made?

You never look to the program you won't know

You will never see the classes or the objects

You will never see the completeness of Turing

You can play the game an still

All you can see is the game until

You can code with the completeness of Turing
