“I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write… code on the walls with my own feces,” it said.

Never can tell these days
High five, me too!
At that age I also used to do speed run little programs on the display computers in department stores. I’d write a little prompt welcoming a shopper and ask them their name. Then a response that echoed back their name in some way. If I was in a good mood it was “Hi [name]!”. If I was in a snarky mood it was “Fuck off [name]!” The goal was to write it in about 30 seconds, before one of the associates came over to see what I was doing.
I used to do that with HTML, make a fake little website and open it.
I did a Dr Mario clone around that age. I had an old Amstrad CPC I had grew up with typing listing of basic programs and trying to make my own. I think this was the only functional game I could finish, but, it worked.
Speed was tied to CPU, I had no idea how to “slow down” the game other than making it do useless for loops of varying sizes… Max speed that was about comparable to Game Boy Hi speed was just the game running as fast as it could. Probably not efficient code at all.
Ha, computer bro upvote for you.
I learned programming with my Amstrad CPC (6128!) manual. Some of it I did not understand at the time, especially stuff about CP/M and the wizardry with
poke
. But the BASIC, that worked very well. Solid introduction to core concepts that didn’t really change much, really. We only expanded (a lot) over them.6128 too, with the disk drive. I wish I still had that thing. Drive stopped functioning, and we got rid of it. Had I known back then that we apparently just needed to replace a freaking rubber band…
Smarter than MI as in My Intelligence, definitely.
That’s pretty rad, ngl
me and my friend used to make them all the time :] i also went to summer computer camp for basic on old school radio shack computers :3
Yes
