Thinking about how to introduce my 6yr old to the world of programming I decided she is going to write her first code like I did - using BASIC on C64.
Luckily there are many JS C64 emulators online like this one https://virtualconsoles.com/online-emulators/c64/ https://virtualconsoles.com/online-emulators/c64/ so its a breeze to get started.
And of course her first program was
10 PRINT "HELLO PETRA"
20 GOTO 10
exactly 33 years after her dad made his first.
She also tried Scratch and like it but to me in order to write code you need to learn to "write" it.
