I've wanted to create just such a game for along time now. Darn Intel beat me to it. :)
The Intel® IT Manager Game tests your entire skill set - people management, resource allocation, strategic analysis and planning. It also tests your courage under fire - can you stand up to the scrutiny of top management along with that of your peers in the industry? Will the decisions you make result in breathtaking profits or devastating losses? Will you enjoy the sweet taste of victory or the bitter agony of defeat? Are you destined for management glory or will you be the kid sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the bell to ring? Find out by playing the Intel® IT Manager Game now.
I found this site while surfing the web this evening. After a quick glance through some of the tutorials it looks pretty intriguing. The macro system looks really neat. Here are the key features listed on their site:
- simplicity
- C#-like syntax
- easy to use object system (derived directly from the .NET)
- easy access to both functional and imperative features
- powerful code-generating macros
- variants
- pattern matching
- static and on-demand dynamic typing
- type inference.
Apparently they have received a sizable grant from MS research for developing the language as well. Definitely cool stuff.

Apparently this little app will give you the windows 95/XP look and feel on windows 3.11. This reminds me of the lamborghini body kits that you could put on a fiero.
