Darn right.  If you look at my game Theldrow, it started out just as an
attempt to make a 3d maze game with real pictures for the walls.  Then I
started to add stuff.  And more stuff.  And more stuff.  I've got 400-600k
of source code for that thing now (verison 2.1?).  And I'm still not quite
done with it (RSN!).  It's been fun and I've learn a lot of things, like
custom LDEFs, scrolling items is dialogs, modeless dialogs, embedded
languages, color icons, and all sorts of tricks.  It works on just about any
machine (though the new version requires the 128k roms, so unenhanced 512
owners will be out of luck) and under multifinder.  (The "guidelines" weren't
that hard to follow for the most part, btw) And I've written (based on
volumious fan email) a great game, and become sort of "famous".  No job
offers yet (:-), but it was fun and I feel that I am a better programmer
because of it.  This wasn't done to make money, it was all for personal
reasons.
