I wrote this when I was 12-13 years old or something like that.

Edit: Now as I start to remember, I think I was more like 14 year old.

This game is probably playable if you compile it with Visual Studio on Windows machine. But I don't know because I don't use Windows machine anymore.

So Enjoy this super efficient, up-to-date, and amazingly readable code.

Also, I would like you to observe this awesome code snippet for a while, before diving straight into to full code. So that your brain could easier adapt to such heavy load of traumatizing code.


gameSpeed:
	cout << "What game speed do you want? (1-10):\n";
	int speedIn;
	int speedOut;
	cin >> speedIn;
	if(speedIn == 1) speedOut = 150;
	else if(speedIn == 2) speedOut = 140;
	else if(speedIn == 3) speedOut = 130;
	else if(speedIn == 4) speedOut = 120;
	else if(speedIn == 5) speedOut = 110;
	else if(speedIn == 6) speedOut = 100;
	else if(speedIn == 7) speedOut = 90;
	else if(speedIn == 8) speedOut = 80;
	else if(speedIn == 9) speedOut = 70;
	else if(speedIn == 10) speedOut = 60;
	else if(speedIn > 10 || speedIn < 1) goto gameSpeed;

I don't have any code from when I was that age, as around the age of 14 or so, an HDD crash had wiped out everything I had before this point (this was in the days when CD-R burners for PCs didn't really exist yet, and computers typically only had a single HDD, *1).

*1: many case+MOBO designs in the 90s were a mess (only really space for a single HDD in the case, ISA cards and CPU/RAM on riser-cards, pushrod-operated PSUs, ...), though at least ATX mostly fixed this up, apart from the years of the evil heat-sink braces... (vs the plastic hook-based holders of older heatsinks, or the latter addition of levers).

however, code from back when I was between 15 and 17 was still pretty horrid...

it seems it wasn't until I was in my 20s that my coding skills actually started to get sort of worthwhile...

when i was 14, i only knew(and knew is a very long stretch) actionscript. so be proud of atleast knowing c at such a young age.

When I was 14 (Now 16, so not much of a stretch) I started out in as much as I could get myself into. Here is my first working and presentable code:

The feeling of finding old code is awesome. Last week I found my old naruto(cuz there are sprites ) arena game in Visual Basic. Hah I wrote it when I was 13 or 14. Srsly I had multiplayer and 2 characters , though I didn't know what function is and everything was in one large, really large function(automatically generated from a timer I think, I had found that if I double click it shows me editor and I can start typing )

PS. I used the deprecated direct draw for drawing... . My greatest achievement was the moving camera that is following the character. Ohh also I found a vid of my game:

hope you like it

Actually this is C++. But at that time I didn't even know what a class or an object was. All I knew was basic functions, variables. So there's nothing really to be proud of.

AT least you knew how to use goto.

Yeah

In the way I wrote that code, it looks more like BASIC, than C++
