Coding is a Text Adventure 122

Wired News is running a story about a new approach to crossover working and gaming turning your coding into a MUD-style adventure. Playsh is a "narrative-driven 'object navigation' client, operating primarily on the semantic level, casting your hacking environment as a high-level, shell-based, social prototyping laboratory, a playground for recombinant network toys." Great, now they are combining two of the most horrible addictions in my life.

I was in the same situation a month ago. I had to develop a graphical interface for a application with no MFC background. My project needs to read a GPS from serial to collect geographical info and join aditional info for plotting. I choose to develop it in Delphi using a very easy-to-use component for serial communications (CDD4). The result is easy to distribute because is is only a .exe file. The learning curve for Object Pascal is easy for anyone with background in any language. The code generated is easy to understand (not like VB).
I believe I made the rigth choice.
