- slim109ya 5y agoYeah, me too. Mainly D&D character generators.
- justinlloyd 5y agoD&D character generators were fun to write. And remember those name generators? And you could make planet name & planet environment generators, and then solar system generators for Traveller. I threw together a really bad dungeon map designer thing when I bought once of the earliest mice you could get, with the roller ball inside the mouse that you had to take out and clean.

- rootsudo 5y agoMy programs at 11 were just Visual Basic 6 for an IE scrapper/clicker and making HTML websites in Dreamweaver 6. Not sure why the 6 was so popular for many programs then. It was for sure Photoshop 7 era.
- klyrs 5y agoMy guess is that it was the last version of Visual Basic before they moved over to VB.net -- it was easy and simple, and didn't aim for industrial strength.
