Well done.
Achieving this at 17 is a rare feat even most supposed senior developers don't achieve and it ranks up there with writing an emulator.
It was only in my late 20s I understood low level architecture enough to be able to do similar work, like you through passion, which I never had in my teens (I did start programming Pong like games at 8 years old and Tetris clones around 12/13 but that's hardly the same ;) ).
Keep up the great work, it restores my faith that their are less code monkeys out their like me!
- silentsea90 3y agoI feel like a code sloth/donkey if you with your achievements are a code monkey. I think we need a hierarchy of animals here. I'll fit right at the bottom thank you.
- SillyUsername 3y agoNo big deal TBH. It was Pong in BASIC on a ZX Spectrum after understanding some simple max min bounds and then negating direction of a ball. For Tetris it was again BASIC, now on a graphical calculator, but while I was learning basic matrix operations such as rotate in school. I didn't learn better languages until I was 18 (Java and C). I'm no autistic savant, I just have cool sound bites lol.
