SCAR was I think the first programming I did. It was very good software, really made it enjoyable. So much so that SCAR eventually _became_ the game.

Every morning before school and every afternoon when I got home I would check on my bot to see it either:

- Murdering chickens/Mining/Cutting wood

- Stuck on a tree

- Stock on the log in screen

I just remember how carefully i had to debug those scar scripts. A bug could waste night of botting, or worse do something suspicious and get your account locked.

I worry that kids growing up today have fewer opportunities like this.
