Subject: What exactly can you DO with programming?

It's just that every small tool you need has been made by someone else, and most games have SDKs to make life easier.

Not go into game design and do something else?

Well a lot of science research fields require you to know programming.

Although that does require science and stuff.

So we've established that programming isn't very useful anyone as other people have already made everything useful and will continue to do so.

What I am saying here is that there is very little point in learning programming unless you are going into a career which requires it. There's just not too much you need it for, because others have already done it with thousands of free tools online.

There's no point in studying anything then.

How did you get that? If you learn maths there's a lot of everyday uses for it, quick mental arithmatic is great to have. If you learn English you can write a book / be more persuasive in your writing.

If you learn programming, whenever you have a problem there's a free tool online that you can instantly download, which lets you solve the problem without having to write and debug your own version.

Do you seriously think there's freeware for everything, everything?

Technically that's scripting using Javascript.

Coup 5's servers are written in PHP and C#.

Do you find many other uses for your skills? Coup is great by the way, just asking.
