when i first started programming (9), i liked making making my computer fill the screen with random colours and output random sounds, seizure type of stuff.

for(;;)
{
   fill screen with random color;
   output random pitch
}

First off, your source code was truncated because it exceeded the size limit. But if anybody wants a good laugh, my Monopoly source code is very funny.

I started it when I was 11 or 12 in GW-BASIC. There was no Internet and I didn't know anybody that programmed. Everything I knew was from C64 books, which obviously wasn't the same as GW-BASIC.

The great part is half the code is GW-BASIC with line numbers and absolutely no concept of programming. It starts out:

10 SCREEN 0: WIDTH 80, 43: COLOR 11, 7: CLS : RANDOMIZE TIMER: DIM SHARED p$(40), p(40), po(40), dola, dolb, n, alch(14), alche(15), mortgage(40)
13 cl$ = "                                                                 "
15 FOR n = 1 TO 40: po(n) = 3: NEXT n: xxx = 20: yyy = 20: bbb = xxx: ccc = yyy
17 dola = 1500: dolb = 1500:

I had no idea what an array was (nor that they even existed), thus you see "dola" and "dolb" for player 1's and player 2's cash respectively. But at some point I had a revelation, and started using arrays. (Thank-you, QBASIC online help.)

I enjoyed making patterns with QBASIC, since it had such a cool IDE:

I love it!
