A quiz game in BASIC, something like this: 10 PRINT "What is the capital of France?" 20 PRINT "1. Berlin" 30 PRINT "2. Madrid" 40 PRINT "3. Paris" 50 INPUT "Enter the number of your choice: ", A 60 IF A = 3 THEN PRINT "Correct!" : GOTO 100 70 PRINT "Incorrect, try again." 80 GOTO 10 100 END

Random text adventure games in Basic using cobbled together code from Math books. Started on the IBM XT and grew from there! Having reliable access to the internet was a huge game changer in learning new programming languages. :D

probably "Hello world!" in many languages ... they just make you do it you litterally have no control 😁

Assembly for hand build circuit board for vending machine 🤔

Quadratic equation solver in TI-BASIC on a TI-83 Plus. It could tell you intercepts in decimal approximation or exact form, including imaginary ones, and factor if possible, and show you a graph of it. I remember writing out what I would store in every single variable A-Z (which eventually overflowed into specific positions in one of the lists) so I wouldn't overwrite a value I needed later, and also my list of all the Lbl's for Goto/Menu. When I got to my first language that let you give variables arbitrary names and write functions, I was so excited!

Writing a game in BASIC for the old Amstrad CPC664. Graphics adventure maybe? Ah ASCII art, just saw below and remembered the term. It had a stickman who walked across the screen, greeted you, and had some options to give him a big glass of water, which he drank using a ladder and a long straw. I was quite proud of it, considering I was under 12 at the time. Also did a lot of mandala drawing using turtle graphics programs.

"My first coding project was a 'Hello, World!' program in html. It was a simple start, but it sparked my interest in programming."

I remember coding a simple "Hello, World!" program. It was a small step, but it sparked my love for programming!

It was a simple quadratic equation function. Nothing special, I was just trying to exercise what I had just learned from a book.

The first thing I remember coding was when I saw an ad that you can write a code on your phone and I downloaded it and I was writing a code to print "Hello world!" using python 🐍
