That was probably on his new years resolutions to learn to program.
Who knows? I've had a website template in .PSD form I made for SC.com a while back when I was still doing web work, he is welcome to that as well... I digress.
It would be fairly easy to make one with no graphics, well, not good ones anyway. I've seen some pretty bad "Sniper" games though. To make the simulation, you would first need to create a "world."
The world would have to have settings for, wind, heat, humidiy, view distance, mirage, sun angle, etc. etc.
Thats not including all of the ballistics yet. It wouldn't be the easiest of tasks. You cant really accurately simulate breathing control or trigger pull either, unless you tie the game into a controller of some sorts. Everyone is different in precise technique.
