Bah! We need a test to determine if one is a real game programmer or if he''s a n00b. I just realised this since the "digital IQ" thing on msnbc.com sucked big time. So post questions that should be included in the "game programmer''s test"! ex: Have you ever implemented an ABT? Do you visit flipcode.com? (-5 points )

That''s just as much pro GDNet as the other test is pro microsoft.

I got 192 on that test...

But I found the question "How do you prevent yourself from being sued by the RIAA" question pretty....funny.
