Any programming that helps you solve a problem is fun and recreational. At least, that's how I look at it. I suppose it really depends on why you're doing it, what your objective is, etc. But I'd say, why not?
Tron! That's one I haven't seen in awhile. I'll have to take a mental note to rent the movie again someday. I always thought a game based on the movie hackers would be cool. Actually not based on the movie itself, but on that 3D computer world they kept breaking into. Ah man, it's so funny looking back on that film. Gibson, that's what they called it. It was like a 3D database. That in itself wouldn't make a very good game, but I suppose one could easily be created around that idea. Perhaps it could be combined with Lawnmower-man. You're somehow trapped in this 80's looking 3D world that has access to all the world's information. More stuff could be thrown in to make it more interesting. And of course, there would have to be hidden references or parodies to whatever movies inspired it.
