I also started learning Qbasic from Gorillas. This path of playing a game, wanting to learn more, then getting into computers and coding is actually really common in parts of the world where computers and computer-based educations aren't as wide spread. I hire a bunch in Latin America, Middle East, etc, and every interview my first question is always "why did you get into software?" and I'd say more than half of people I interview got into coding in one of two ways, either gaming, or building websites. I'm interviewing people who learned to code more than ten years ago, when websites were HTML with some PHP and gamed were much more accessible. I'm not sure what the corresponding path would be these days.
