When I was about 12 years old my dad got me a Sharp PC-1500 pocket computer [1]. It had 2KB of memory, a one line LCD display (156×7 pixels), and ran BASIC. I cut my teeth programming it and progressively creating more elaborate programs. At that time I had a hobby of drawing line art like logos and characters. I remember programming it to do animations with physics of the type you usually see in product demos, e.g. a logo dropping from the top and bouncing until it rests; a logo getting formed from animating random pixels, etc. Fun times.
