My first programs: Old Pascal programs I wrote in the early nineties
- agumonkey 11y agoI smiled at psycho (spent a lot of time composing random and lines). You didn't try the fire graphical trick / demo ?
- fishanz 11y agoDoesn't have the pascal source?
- agumonkey 11y agoI just remembered it was mostly inline asm, like http://sh1.webring.com/people/gu/um_3792/demos.html http://sh1.webring.com/people/gu/um_3792/demos.html ps: here is the description in pseudo code (4 lines near bottom) http://pascal.sources.ru/demo/otfire.htm http://pascal.sources.ru/demo/otfire.htm tl;dr: it's a very approximative diffusion process.
- ca98am79 11y agoyes, sorry I don't think the source survived. I will keep looking
- ca98am79 11y agofound it! It had a different filename: https://github.com/ca98am79/my-first-programs/blob/master/psycho/DRAWING.PAS https://github.com/ca98am79/my-first-programs/blob/master/ps...
- rafaqueque 11y agoI also have code that I wrote since the very beginning and it's amazing to see how we improved over time.
- fishanz 11y agoI love this. Makes me want to put my childhood code on github. Thanks!
- yason 11y agoThe best thing about old first-time programs is the naming. It can be quite revealing and unexpected when you remember where the name came from (or might have come). I liked the "psycho" program with its graphical glory. By name only it could've been nearly anything. I think I also might have had a program called "psycho" in the very early years...
- ca98am79 11y agoIt is really gratifying in a way that I can't really say, that all of these old programs I wrote for myself and by myself as a young teenager are now, 25 years later, getting attention by people all over the world. It's crazy and awesome - thanks!
- LenSys 11y agoI'm jealous of you guys :( I wrote my first line of code at 19, almost 20. I'm now almost 22 and hoping to work in the field after graduating this summer
