Christian. It is common. Don't worry.
Hmm... Norroen (åsatro/Odin) too. Ok, maybe you should worry!!

I think I played a game called floyd the droid on my C64, but it was about
cleaning up sewers. (we tried to crack it) Actually, it was kinda MUD-like.
It is one of the games I remember for some novelty. It allowed you to
program the robot using a simple iconic language. So you could program
sequences of actions, thus trying to make the optimial strategy for killing
bats and other monsters. It wasn't very well-balanced, but it could make a
nice hobbyist graphical mud.
jump
zap
sit
zap
jump
stomp
stomp
stomp
Not too difficult, but it is more fun with graphics. Looks funny. Silly
funny. I believe the perceptual/visual feedback is an important reward
which can motivate people to program. Maybe easier to tell what you do
wrong and plan for changes with visual feedback than it is with just textual
descriptions. "I just need one more jump to get into perfect zapping
distance".
I don't really think one need to make such macro programming very clever. If
aiming for the average user, then one probably should avoid difficult
conditional structures and such. Ok, that would be another one of the many
I-have-always-wanted-to-make-this projects which I will never do.
