[nfbcs] first programs?

[Ryan Stevens]

The first full program I wrote was my end-of-year project using the Basic
language on the legendary Radio Shack TRS-80 during my senior year of high
school (1984).  It was a music trivia game where if the player got the
answer wrong, an ASCII human stick figure got blasted by a "laser beam" from
above.  If the answer was correct, the beam did a sudden left, missing the
figure.  From what I remember, the game randomly selected five questions
from a pool of fifteen or twenty, and the player's score was shown after the
final guess with corresponding message ("Good job", "Bad luck", etc).

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?
