Re: What could possibly make coding fun?
If you think code theory is bad you haven't seen what we do in university. We started with abstraction theory, now moving to signal theory, math fundamentals and functional programming (Haskell). On the other hand, coding, especially when it involves 3d graphics, is quite math-heavy. I certainly didn't have 4-dimensional… -

Re: What could possibly make coding fun?
It's somewhat like learning a new 3d package; once you're over the hump and able to do something creative with the language, you can do all kinds of interesting things.
