Software Club

The Software Club is an official discord server not affiliated with the Council.
== Origins ==
Begun by Dirty Mike in 2020, the Software Club is a student-run goblin organization adapted from the previously existing Computer Club (which now exists as its subsidiary). The Software Club participated in various coding-related activities such as hackathons, the Steel City Codes program, and various Game Jams. All of its meetings, resources, and overall club functions were held on its discord server. Most activities within the server were not actually club-related at all, and it essentially became a Discord server for nerds to hang out and play fredwars, Garphic Phone, or Jackbox every once in a while.
Due to being an official AHHS Club, the Software Club does have an official advisor; Jones. However, she rarely interacts with the club and is more of just a façade to the administration that the Club is more serious than it is.
== Connection to Council ==
Mike Kachowski is one of the core initial members of the club, with The Snazzmaster also being one of its earliest members. After randomly stumbling upon the club's promotional Instagram account, Tactician also joined the club and found that most of his friends resided there. Some time later, on 11/24/21, Meme Lord joined the server after Dirty Mike caught wind of Meme Lord's AHHS Minecraft Map. Dirty Mike saw Meme Lord's knowledge of the school as essential to making the Club's upcoming Abington RPG. 
At that point, the club's server basically just became a meme chat, with the sheer Meme energy of the Meme Lord (bolstered by the other Council members) seeping into literally every conversation. This especially applies to the "gaming" channel, which may as well have been a channel in the Meme Council itself with how Memeber-dominated it was. Although text-based conversation is less active in the server nowadays, memebers and other Club members meet up for gamer time every few weeks. It is also worth mentioning that The Meme Lord managed to reach the top rank on the Software Club's MEE6 ranking system, despite barely participating in anything besides the Abington RPG development. After graduation, the channel was redubbed "founder's gaming", locked off from the rest of the server, and is still used to this day.
Memeber MondayMan was once a member of the Software Club, but after leaving he decided the Council was the superior server to be a part of. A wise choice. Brosama and NaBro3 would be the only other Software Club members to be both in the Council and the Software Club, being added in 2022 and 2024 respectively.
== Notable Projects/Events ==
=== 10 Hours of Stal ===
By far the most groundbreaking event in the club's history is when, on a virtual learning day at Stabington, The Snazzmaster suggested that various club members (many of them Memebers) join VC and, through the MEE6 Discord Bot, listen to a 10-hour loop of "Stal" from Block Game. The club actually managed to stay in VC the whole time and listen to the entire 10-hour loop. Additionally, The Snazzmaster managed to document the exact moment at which the video reached the 4:20:00 mark.
=== Games ===
As previously mentioned, the Software Club has participated in Game Jams. There are two games, both of which contain contributions from Memebers, which you can play right now with the links below.

Both of these games' pages feature comically long-winded user reviews by The Meme Lord which can be read on the provided links.
