I got started on programming scripting for AOL chatrooms, making tools that let me type out larger blocks of text and it would quickly enter it so it showed as concurrent messages for turn based role play. Then, Starsiege tribes had a pretty open to modding stance and started making custom chat scripts, which evolved when more advanced programmers let you add on to their work. This idea is so true, I watch as the foster kids my wife and I do respite care for get into programming through sharing time with me getting a raspberry pi into a minecraft servers. Even just having customizable options got them very excited.
