My number one recommendation for people who want to get into programming. Daniel is wonderfully quirky, enthusiastic and warm.

Lots of video game mechanics were "happy little accidents" that were then codified. For instance, in Space Invaders, the aliens speed up as there are fewer of them; this was an emergent behavior that was codified, at first it was caused by the game outputting frames as fast as possible & having less computation to perform as aliens were eliminated.
