That's what I did also. I made explosions in Gorillas as I wanted them . I didn't know coding or language but somehow figured out if I change values here and there the explosion would be bigger.
Soon after that wrote program for deleting other programs. actually useful because we didn't know yet how to delete from DOS.
we were kids left with PC with no instructions at all. Parents were busy.
Now in hindsight I see my first steps were somewhat destructive.
- bredren 4y agoI too edited gorillas as one of my first programming endeavors. As for the other thing, there was some DOS command I learned that forced an immediate reboot. I realized this could be added to the end of an autoexec.bat and create an endless reboot loop. Well, I thought this was a funny prank so I edited the file on a display PC at Costco. Came back by it later in the trip and it’s still booting and rebooting. I look back on that and realize it probably had to be replaced and sent to some other state where some tech either had to troubleshoot it or create a new image all together. Not the best use of value but it was amusing to exert power over computers at such an early age.
