Comment by hereonout2 | original | Getting old Macromedia Director Games to run on modern Hardware

I did an odd interactive media course in college - not CS but lots of programming in various languages.

I loved Director and used it for many assignments. Made so many CD-ROMs, even 3d games using Shockwave and models we'd make in 3DS Max.

It was fun graduating and trying to get a job in 2003! Realising CD ROMs were becoming a thing of the past and having to immediately teach myself HTML and Flash.

On reflection it set the tone for the 20+ years of continuous learning and language swapping!
