: I presume that not all, but some dinkers will have previously (or maybe now) programmed in another way, such as C, C++, Basic etc.
: I throw this nostalgic question to you all : What was your first piece of programming?
: Mine was on an old amstrad, and along with Arik (when I was knee high to a grasshopper) created a very simple text based adventure, using BASIC, by the name of "Fantasy World". You had to go and kill the Goblin king, and I really enjoyed it.
: We started on a sequel, but it fizzled out, as we tried to make it too complicated for our little brains to understand.
: One day, I want to remake that classic quest, though probably not with Dink (But I dunno how else to).
: So what was everybody's first program?
Depends... lol.. I started experimenting with QBasic at the age of 9.. and I started making simple input/output programs like "Enter name and address" and stuff, and then it would show on a screen... but my first real program must've been an installer I made using QBasic, PKZip, zip files and a file.lst file that listed all the files in the zip and where they were to end up.. heh.. cool now that I think back on it. My program was sort of a shell to the PKZip program, serving as a progress meter for the installation.
