Why did you learn how to program?

« on: 20 November, 2011, 06:09:27 »

Read the subject!

I liked the ability to manipulate something in any way, as well as making my own games... Grin

When I heard that the Ti-83+SE could get games on it I downloaded them and played them for a long time... I must have had too much radiation for breakfast...

I then wanted to make my own game, as a fan of rougelike's my destiny was then written...

How or why did you start to program? (And please don't make some kind of smart alec comment <_<

)

I only started programming because butts kept bothering me to do it. I really, REALLY didn't want to, but then I finally gave in.
And now I am happy that he showed me!!!

I had a friend show me (Thundermagnet). I first showed him how I learned to display stuff, and he showed me one of his games, and I was hooked! Haven't stopped coding yet!

I started to learn because I was just intrigued. I had no intention of getting as far as I have, I just wanted a fast way to make and compute algorithms. I think the first thing I wanted to do was make a prime tester, but I cannot remember. I still use my calc often to compute algorithms, but I obviously do more than that, now ♥

I learned because I want to be able to literally tell the computer what to do, and how to do it. I was interested in the level of control over the computer that programming gave me. Cheesy

I learned it because it was always a dream for me to try making games when I was kid. I didn't care as much about the coding as I did about the game creation, though.

After about a year of working my way through ticalc.org's featured programs list (and eventually got bored Tongue

), I wanted to make my own.

Didn't you start with calc programming Juju, or did yopu just start computer programming many years before?

I started computer programming years before I got my trusty TI-83+. And I started calc programming right after getting this calc.

Yeah, I pretty much slowed down. Then I tried Axe and I got a Prizm.

I hope you eventually resume Keytar Hero and finish Axeanoid, though. Tongue

Well, programming always fascinated me, and when I got my ti84+ for school I wanted to learn programming, and now I make games for it! Cheesy

I only bought my calc to put games on it Tongue

But RACE2 a game in BASIC was really ugly (not because it was it was in BASIC, some are really great, but the used characters weren't well chosen) so I edited it !
Then I understood everything the programmer did and started to program my own games Cheesy
