Anyway, I thought I'd ask the question to anyone who's been developing games for a while: anyone have any screenshots of early efforts--like when you were still learning the trade? Not necessarily stuff that may have come by following instructions in a book, but genuine early efforts where you were creating nearly everything, that may look strange or amusing to you now or even surprise you when you look back at them?
Here's (one of) mine: this is an early attempt I made at writing an isometric graphics engine--this was in 2002, probably a year or so after I had given some serious effort to learning C++. Hoo boy, is it hard on the eyes, but I got real kick out of watching it play again today. They're hard to see, but the sprites are vikings and skeletons that were animated in Poser, exported as an .avi, then imported to Animation Shop 3.0, then cut and pasted into a single bitmap image in Paint Shop Pro 7.0. Not very efficient, but it worked. While you couldn't click on a viking, you could toggle through them, and click on a skeleton. Once you clicked on a skeleton, the viking that was highlighted would walk over to him and start wailing on him. The pathfinding was primitive, and the collision detection a little off. And don't get me started about the horrible (lack of) anti-aliasing.
