Coincidence or not? Why are there so many programmers playing this game?

I think it's more than a coincidence that there are so many programmers playing this game. PrayeR said he had done some programming (with Perl I think), and You Qi has Palm programs selling at Palm Gear. What is it about this game that attracts the programmers (and Web designers) so much? I should know since I like programming, too, but I dont.

Yes, but I thought everybody knew that. :p I noticed your name in You Qi's program; did you help him get started?

I'm a programmer too.I mainy do Client Server
software (its boring but it pays the bills) but I
have done some Palm Programming to in C.
I used the Falch Net Studio (Falch is no longer active)
application to write the programs.I wrote quite a decent
Asteroids/Robotron game but never got it 100% finished -
lack of time.

Maybe lots of programmers have Palms, or maybe they are the only ones who will play this game long enough to get a respectable ranking.
