I made my first every game using qbasic when I was 11, and learned just by RTFM, no-one to teach me, no internet tutorials because no internet. Such a simple language and great way to start programming. I think we're missing something like this. Scratch is too easy. Javascript needs too much setup. In case you wondered, it was called "Dancing Dobbins" and was a horse racing and betting game. It generated Random Horse names and odds, you placed bets and the horses ran across the screen, each drawn very jaggedly with vector lines. I just kept adding to it and adding to it and it eventually got quite strange, some of the horses would randomly go mad and start attacking adjacent lanes. I believe there was alien abduction during some races.
