When I was in the 5th grade or so, I had a Commodore VIC-20, then a C=64. These were, respectively, the second and third machines I learned to program in BASIC. One of my completed achievements was a sort of "typing tutor" game. I suppose I modeled it upon the game on my Casio calculator watch, and Missile Command. In my game, letters would fall from the sky, and pressing the correct key would destroy the letter and save Earth. My father belittled it because it was a game and so, it couldn't be serious learning. Well Dad, I seriously learned some BASIC in order to get to a finished product and do a literal tape-out.
