[nfbcs] first programs?

[Nicole Torcolini]

	I started with Visual Basic in ninth grade. It was actually
accessible. It gave you more control over the visual appearance than some
other languages because you could move the various objects to different
coordinates  and then set properties, such as color, on them. I remember
that I used it to construct a cat out of different shapes and lines.
Although my first attempt was not perfect, my mom said that it was not far
off. At the end of the semester, I made a computer version of what looked
like a board game. The board game was about the different stages of the life
of a guide dog. I probably still have all of the code from that semester,
but I don't know if there is anything that will run it anymore as that was
about nine years ago.

Subject: [nfbcs] first programs?

Hello all:
Given that this is a cs list, I kind of had a fun topic. As brought up by
one of the most recent threads, I wrote a "swim" program a while back. This
was one of my first programs I ever actually wrote for the pc, and was
written for a school project in my 6th grade class using Libertybasic. I'd
totally forgotten the program or the language itself, but it seems LB is
still alive and kicking. I don't really remember much of the details of the
program, just that it was a very very basic game, if it can be called that.

What were some of your first projects?
