However, if you think about it enough, you might eventually see a connection. Anyway, the programming languages can pertain to game-making, visual novels, text adventures, making e-book software, or whatever else you feel like. The links that pertain to sheet music are probably the hardest to explain. Nevertheless, music usually has lyrics, and lyrics have potential to pertain to fantasy writing. The music links can be helpful for those who make visual novels, video games and such. |
