What was the first thing you remember coding?
Hello world! in C
probably "Hello world!" in many languages ... they just make you do it you litterally have no control 😁
A keylogger that encrypts what it writes and then sends evrything to a highly populated chat server. Ended up never using it though.
Assembly for hand build circuit board for vending machine 🤔
Writing a game in BASIC for the old Amstrad CPC664. Graphics adventure maybe? Ah ASCII art, just saw below and remembered the term. It had a stickman who walked across the screen, greeted you, and had some options to give him a big glass of water, which he drank using a ladder and a long straw. I was quite proud of it, considering I was under 12 at the time. Also did a lot of mandala drawing using turtle graphics programs.
Quadratic equation solver in TI-BASIC on a TI-83 Plus. It could tell you intercepts in decimal approximation or exact form, including imaginary ones, and factor if possible, and show you a graph of it. I remember writing out what I would store in every single variable A-Z (which eventually overflowed into specific positions in one of the lists) so I wouldn't overwrite a value I needed later, and also my list of all the Lbl's for Goto/Menu. When I got to my first language that let you give variables arbitrary names and write functions, I was so excited!
"My first coding project was a 'Hello, World!' program in html. It was a simple start, but it sparked my interest in programming."
I remember coding a simple "Hello, World!" program. It was a small step, but it sparked my love for programming!
The first thing I remember coding was when I saw an ad that you can write a code on your phone and I downloaded it and I was writing a code to print "Hello world!" using python 🐍
