My first program evar

I was going through some old floppies at my parents' house and I found a backup of one of the first programs I ever wrote. It's a Doom frontend from 1995, written in QuickBASIC. Much to my astonishment it even still runs, although the mouse support is sketchy in XP. I post it as an example of how not to write code. I ended up having to redo large portions of it to stay under QB's 64K source code limit; unfortunately the updated code is probably lost to the ages although I did open-source the program before abandoning it so it may still be floating around somewhere. I think I made about $50 off this when all was said and done, which just goes to show what could pass for commercial software back in the day. :tongue: Anybody else have historic examples of their work collecting e-dust on a disk somewhere?

Unfortunately no.  But during the heyday of the first Half-Life I made some kickass custom levels.  I released them to a few multiplayer "clans" :lol: and get some positive feedback and even had one of the developers express interest in hiring me to do others until he found out I was 15.

I made this awesome Saving Private Ryan level with sandbags, towers, scripted AI events and tracking scripts to follow you as you made it up the beach and into the bunkers.  I had it all cinematic too where you would run into enemy soldiers hiding in trenches along the way.  I even through in ambient war sounds.  The level took forever, but I had a blast doing it, even though scripting was a bitch.

Not to mention the level editor back then was fucking daunting considering I'd never seen anything like it.

Damn, I wish I would have saved those.

A few years ago (I think it was when I bought my house in '01 and went through a bunch of old stuff during the move) I finally threw away a stack of 5 1/4" floppys that I had been packing around since about 1984 or 85.  I took a computers class in High School back then and learned some BASIC and a little Pascal.  Had an Aplle IIe at home and wrote a few simple programs and games.  But after 15 years I couldn't see the point in keeping those old disks, and doubted that the data had survived anyway, so out they went.

Sure would be fun to see those programs again.  I don't really even recall what any of the games were like or what the programs I wrote did. :shrug:

I used to toy around with Qbasic when I was 12 or so, writing small little "pick up key"  "use key" type text based adventure games.  I'd always run into a snag though with the variables and I'd have to scrap it.  I used to be all about the programming but it's just not my cup of tea anymore.  I miss those days where you could walk around a flea market and find new and hidden gems in the pile of crap they had laid out.
