[nfbcs] first programs?

[Louis Bryant]

Hi. My first program was a Blackjak open-source game written in Euphoria back in 2003 for a high-school project. The original project couldn't be made accessible, so I opted to write a game that was easy and accessible by nature. Got an a on the assignment.
Best, Louis
