Early Programming Projects

I made a program like this years ago. it was very fun messing around with it.

I learned to program by writing apps to punt other users and scroll chat rooms. Those were the good ol' days!

Making an equivalent of this was one of my first ever projects when I started learning programming. I'd read about it recently and was amazed when it actually started beating me every time.

I saw this a while ago (about a year) and I wrote a hello world and another small program in it. Shortly after I had a job interview for a software dev. spot for one of my schools research labs and I brought this up in the interview, my future boss thought it was halarious!

I was a programmer a decade before my first Hello World!

Once upon a time i had a project to do that. and it was miserable (but also it was when i was first learning to program... so i did a lot of stupid things)

Its a pretty specific niche product. The code is also terrible :) Every time I had to make a change i was terrified, so many files with redundant functions and just spaghetti code. I hadn't programmed for a little over 4 years when I wrote it and it was my first time coding anything outside of c++. It did make me love web development though and set me off on my current career. Actually excited to build something new, future is bright :)

Me too!I used it to enter my school's science fair where I wrote a program that was a couple thousand lines to calculate, chart, and explore the relationship between musical notes and frequencies. I didn't have a thesis or anything, just did a bunch of programming, and the judges did not care for it haha. At the time, I didn't even realize it was "programming" a computer, it was just fun!Once I started to learn to program for real, I thought it was weird that I had

this is one of the first things i ever programmed! cool to see it is seeing the light of day again.

what kind of programming did you do?
