It's a text adventure game. Not very sophisticated, but it's a game that works :) [17:16:44] <ct|kyle> Lucifer_arma: Nice [17:38:11] <Lucifer_arma> now he's writing his first parser [17:38:30] <Lucifer_arma> file parser, that is [17:42:34] <ct|kyle> Lucifer_arma: how old? [17:43:19] <Lucifer_arma> 14 [17:43:30] <Lucifer_arma> he'll be 15 next month (well, august) [17:44:04] <Lucifer_arma> both of my boys are trailing me in programming, starting in their teens, but at least they're starting :) [17:44:39] <Lucifer_arma> (I'd written my first game at 10, and first text adventure at 11 or 12) [17:46:27] <Lucifer_arma> they're also lucky enough to have python already existing, heh. I had to work with commodore basic [17:47:16] <ct|kyle> I think I started with HTML (if that counts) when i was 12 and tried some javascrpt in there [17:47:44] <ct|kyle> by 14 I was wrtting pascal [17:48:55] <Lucifer_arma> html doesn't count as a programming language :) [17:50:16] <ct|kyle> I did some javascript stealing back then too [17:50:45] <Lucifer_arma> yeah, I didn't write anything you could call "designed and written by me" until that first text adventure game [17:51:13] <Lucifer_arma> you have to remember "age appropriate" programming whenever I talk about starting at a young age [17:52:43] <Armanelgtron> I see mention of kolourpaint! [17:53:03] <ct|kyle> High school is when I programmed a lot, in lots of languages [17:53:59] <Lucifer_arma> I started C while still in middle school, but didn't really learn how to use loops effectively until high school [17:54:20] <Lucifer_arma> that and functions in algebra (also in high school) made C work for me [17:54:36] <ct|kyle> PLD, basic stamp, C, C++, java, pascal, php, actionscript, autoit and probbaoly some others [17:54:53] <Lucifer_arma> then I learned Pascal, and didn't branch out until ~2001, when I picked up vbscript, C++, and some perl [17:54:59] <ct|kyle> oh ya, TI basic [17:55:59] <Lucifer_arma> I had, I think it was a TI-99, in my bedroom for awhile [17:56:10] <ct|kyle> and i had this flow chart based programming, was used to maek a marble sorter [17:56:30] <ct|kyle> Ti-83+ SE [17:56:38] <Lucifer_arma> I loved flowchart-based programming, until I hated it [17:56:54] <Lucifer_arma> no wait, it was a Timex-Sinclair 1000. Little 8-bit machine with 2K RAM [17:57:14] <Lucifer_arma> we learned top-down design in my pascal class, and I hated it from the beginning [17:57:57] <Lucifer_arma> monochrome display [17:57:58] <ct|kyle> All my high school was basically self taught, so i really did not learn concepts that well, I just programmed [17:58:14] <Lucifer_arma> but the BASIC dialect I had was essentially the same as the commodore BASIC [17:59:51] <ct|kyle> I programmed the shit out of TI basic though [18:00:09] <ct|kyle> made a tic tac toe based game [18:00:31] <ct|kyle> multi player (I may have even made a waek AI for it) [18:03:55] <Lucifer_arma> I took a semester-long BASIC class my sophomore year, and a year-long pascal class my junior year [18:04:16] <Lucifer_arma> which were instrumental in turning me into a programmer who could actually write really useful things :) [18:04:55] <Lucifer_arma> then, after high school, I took 7 years off from computers, where I only played civ 2 on the Amiga for a short time [18:05:09] <Lucifer_arma> and later wrote a budget program on the C64 because my sister gave me her old one [18:05:39] <Lucifer_arma> I started up again in early 2001 learning C++ with Borland C++ Builder, and moved to vbscript for web pages [18:05:57] <Lucifer_arma> because for about six months, I actually used Windows full-time. :/ [18:09:24] <Lucifer_arma> luckily I wised up and switched to Linux a few months before the 9/11 attacks.

is a site that has tools, maps, and other various items. It orignally only existed as a server control panel, but I slowly began adding stuff such as a homepage and tools.

This is an LLM-free zone. In general, I am unwilling to use (fight with) any form of "GenAI" to write code for me. So, for the forseeable future, everything on this site will continue to be written by a very silly goose (wait that's me honk honk) with some parts written by other humans as well (silly hu-mon) rather than any plausible-series-of-words token-eating machine. Even my libraries are out of date, and suddenly that's a good thing!
(Although the style has changed several times and content has been added and changed, the base of this site has barely been updated since 2015. But it Ain't Broke!)
This site is also occasionally tested with older browsers, but compatibility is not guarenteed. Although, if you have an old obscure browser and something isn't working that previously did, I guess you can tell me (nelg) about it...
