When I started decoding saved game files, my eventual plan was to write
programs to play the game (or more limitedly help automate some parts of
the play). Of course, one often starts minor projects that don't get
finished.

Of course, when I started programming, people had not started writing
computer games. Had to learn lock picking to get at the computer (Royal
McBee) for practicing on. Caltech had a liberal attitude on having lock
picks just so long as you did not use them for evil purposes. The
compute had a 32 track hard drive for main memory.
