I don't need Internet to do programming. Heck I don't even need a computer. I can program and execute small virtual machines with a pen and paper to test my algorithmic ideas. In fact I've been doing exactly that for almost 20 years already when I'm not near a computer.

I knew a kid at school who played whole cricket games by himself with pen and paper.

Just finished reading paper about "ok" vm. Now I wonder how a vm designed specially for pen and paper would look like hitogata.neocities.org/ok

Wow this is very cool, thanks for sharing!

i execute algorithmic ideas without a computer everyday, it's called cooking and i follow a recipe

With all sincerity, I'm so glad that people like you exist because if it was up to me, we'd all still be trying to run everything in BASIC
