I find it fun to learn new things, and my technique to do it is perfected over 3 decades: Learn by doing things wrong a couple of times, eventually you will get it right!
Still ironing out a few quirks and wrinkles, and I only regret that I didn't make the final move to Pascal years ago. I'm actually finding it extremely fun to code again, in the same way I felt 30-some years ago when I started learning 6502 assembler on my C64. In my own humble opinion I'm a quite good C programmer, and I'm very much able to write code that both works well and looks nice, but in Pascal I achieve that with about half the effort. Actually not sure that the pascal code I write is any good, but it's nice to look at
My goal for now is a remake of Syndicate - one of my all time favourites. Still got the original floppy, but last time I tried to run it in dos-box it ran hyper-fast, probably because in 1993 a 60Mhz pentium was considered faster then lightning. Tried emulating a 33Mhz 486, but it's all jerky and crashes now and then.
