Hmm, you say "There are some things game players aren't meant to know. Code is #1."
Personally, I look forward to game inwhich programming is rewarded with being able to interact with the game system better. In other words, I look forward to the time when the game is some server program and half of the skill is actually manipulating the existing rules to outperform your oponents.
I guess it would be similar in some ways to those old syle "robot" games - where you pogram the robots. Only in this situation, you and your code would play together against the rest.
