This is a great advertisment for what real developers do. You shouldn't just crank out the first idea that works. You should be doing something that is smarter and sensible.

As a middle schooler I used Power Point to make FMV games for my friends and classmates, and it was basically this. Just, like, SO MANY slides

not to get epistemological,

but I hate that technically there's only a limited number of moves in chess, and therefore the best move is there, maybe there's a strategic where white will always win, but we'll never know because the number of variations likely is larger than atoms in the universe.
