HAHAHAHA, that was REALLY funny

my first program ( istarted gwbasic)

10 i=10
20 print i
30 i = i + 7
40 if i = 100 then end
50 goto 20

and i was wondering how come it never stopped counting #s

p.s. damn i kept putting semicolons at the end o each line, then i erased them

you know what i like about programming? 3 things:

1) the fact that how easily the whole system will get screwed up with 1 small mistake

2) seeing the final work is so pleasant that i do all o the programming job for that moment

3) this is the only thing that i can do right without destroying anything

It all began with the rubber keyed slimline speccy. I learnt to change the border colour. Wow. I was estatic. Then I learnt how to change the text colour. Whoo. I was floating up to heaven. Then I got a Amiga (but never programed anything on it), and then a PC. You now what that meant - BATCH FILES I remember the joy of annoying the schools IT support with my batch files in the startup files

Then came Doom and I designed a few levels, same with Duke3D and I then decided to play RTS games but they never played as well as I wanted so I though (Newbie warning) that I could do better. ha ha ha ha ha

I''m still working towards that lofty goal.

I''ve always loved creating and imagining things... I was the type of kid that you''d see outside swinging cardboard swords at invisible dragons. Game programming came naturally, I guess, because what better way is there to create a whole different world that you and others can just dive into?

I got a book about computers for Christmas. In this book, some simple BASIC programs were listed. Somethin'' like:

PRINT "What is your name?"INPUT N$PRINT "HELLO" N$ 

I liked it very much. Few days later, I borrowed a Book with more BASIC-Stuff like IF...THEN (wow )

A friend of mine let me borrow a Delphi compiler to play around with it... once I was able to do the hello world program when you click on a button, i was stuck to it... it got more addicting once i got a book from the public library that gave the beginner step by step practical examples... "Beginner''s Guide to Delphi" by Wrox group.. that was the name of the book... then i started learning delphi and i got addicted.... i started creating simple programs like calculators, converters (celsius to fahrenheit.etc..)... then i started learning Win32 Programming with Delphi... that''s how i got started.. then i started doing some C stuff, then C++... ASM.. and finally VB.. i guess i went the wrong path, but that way i''ve learned a lot of things (techniques..etc) that the general programmer wouldn''t know... anyways.. im on my way learning 3D graphics programming now, and i hope some of you gurus out there would help me out..

btw, do you think the book "DirectX 3D Graphics Programming Bible" is a good book?! I purchased and am hoping to be a good one... I want to learn how everything works from the inside.. maths (vector, matrix).. formulas... their properties.. what each of those does... etc... anyways.. im only 18 and have a long way to go in front of me.. take care..
