My earliest "programming" attempts were when I was seven years old. I would delete lines of basic from a simple game called Dungeon on our Commodore Pet to see what would happen. Obviously most of the time it just broke, but I did get some interesting effects, such as the dungeon becoming one big room instead of rooms and passages, or all the monsters becoming the same type. Those changes fascinated me and began an interest in learning more about basic so I could understand better why these things were happening, and off I went from there.
