Elite is 40 years old... the main design inspiration for my game Liberation.

I love that Elite has a great archival scene around its source code (once again the Brits are way ahead)

The aesthetic value of code is a massive ignored philosophy and this scene is a world leader.

Is code art? Code for the sake of code can be art but most code is for a purpose and so is "only" a craft imo.

But some code DOES belong in a museum or gallery!
