# A Coder's Game

Roy Osherove suggest "Here's a game that totally feels like software development. Can you tell why?"

this game is like software development because the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing.... or maybe its because as a programmer, I always feel like a dot in a sea of triangles... :)

This game feels like BAD software development. Here's why: I live in Belgium where we have AZERTY keyboards (not QWERTY). Try going up/down/right/left when the keys are not positioned correctly!

It certainly feels like software development in Visual Studio, at any rate.  One hand on the keyboard, one hand on the mouse.

I played twice, then I got too cross-eyed to continue.

I was grinning ear to ear withing a few seconds of playing this game, knowing exactly what you meant. But for someone like me, it also is very reminiscent of playing any RTS or Shooting game on a PC.
