I'll have to check out some of the old issues, I thought it was more of an industry magazine and not covering algorithms or coding. Archive.org has most (all?) issues in a collection: https://archive.org/details/ga

I don't think that's been the case for a long, long time. Almost every new game on modern consoles and PCs will see one (or many) updates in its lifetime. Game cartridges, things we used to think of as immutable, are merely storag

If I was going to start a child on coding javascript, I would probably do this or codepen rather than a full fledged text editor, ide, or browser built-in console. Move them to the console once they're comfortable and teach them how to
