I get a lot of people coming up to me like, "Oh hey, a 3DS! What game are you playing?"
"Actually I'm making a simulation of an 8x8 color LED matrix."
I should just be like "Zelda".
The ''Hey, what are you playing'' question always ends in them walking away. Odd, I thought that programming gravity simulators (or whatever) was fun to watch!
I actually had a complete stranger come up to me once while programming a Petit Computer game in the store. I can't remember exactly what she said, but I was just like "Oh, I'm just programming a port of Chip's Challenge in PTC." I can't how she responded but I think she watched for like a minute.
I have friends of mine come up and be like what are you doing? I just say somthing like ,"oh I am just making a game".most of the time they will watch witch makes me nervous so I put it away and talk to them instead. I can't program with people watching over my shoulder. lol
