Bill Gates Style

Sam Bayless is a friend from waaaay back when. We've known each other for 10 years now. I met Sam at a district enrichment program where we were both selected to compete as part of the 'elite' team for an international problem-solving competition: they present you with an apocalyptic scenario in the future and you develop solutions and strategies. It sounds nerdy and it was. But we rocked and we invited to go to Maine to compete. For various reasons that didn't really work out.

In any case, we are now travelling down different roads and Sam is on his way to fame and glory, Bill Gates-style. The other day he sent me a link to an incredible game he developed over the past year. I don't know if I will do it any justice but trying to explain myself but it's kind of like Lego on ecstasy.

Here's a demo video. Says Sam, "Its a tank tread that Jake [his younger brother] built using my program. Noah [his even younger brother] composed the music, and David [his youngest brother] designed the tank... or at least decided that he wanted to have a tank, and made Jake build it. Its great to have little brothers."
