To be 17 again! My teens were a blast. I have a 486 and a PowerPC 6100. I worked a whole Summer to buy Metrowerks Codewarrior for $700 not realizing there was an education discount for $99. :-( I was into C++ and C. I didn't rely on any toolkits. I wrote my own GUI (Windows, buttons, Sprites, event handling, renderer, physics and threading (although threading was a complete failure). I tried to re-create the Legend Of Zelda with just my own tools. I still have all of this code from back then even. I should dust it off. My advice: really learn your language, exploit it, learn another one. Try to write the same project in 2 different languages. Don't settle for what the OS has to offer. Try and create your own classes of functionality. Eat good, get outside, enjoy your friends and get ready for college.
