The Chilli Analogy

  • Game Maker, Fusion, Stencyl - Store-bought chilli. Everything's mixed together already, beef ground, and spices made. It's quick and easy to prepare.
  • C/C++, PyGame, Java - The chilli has to be manually prepared. Although the beef is pre-ground and beans are tinned, the herbs are all separated, and everything has to be put together manually. The result can be more personalized to your tastes.
  • x86 Assembly - You're on a farm, and you're raising some calves. You've started to grow various types of herbs, as well as chilli peppers, which you'll grind and mix with the herbs to create chilli powder. The kidney beans have just been planted. You've made all the cooking utensils yourself by sourcing wood from trees, which you planted a few years ago. Everything has to be assembled by hand, and the result is something purely homemade.
