Counter-Strike was my introduction to actual programming! I learned to write AMX mods to help make administering our servers (banning cheaters and whatnot) mid-match possible without having to interrupt playing to open the console.
> I found out there are third party server browsers for CS2 with modded servers. It is so tiny compared to the old days, but they exist. I played around on a couple around a year ago and had a good time. If you are feeling nostalgic, you should check it out.
Thanks for the tip!
- nonethewiser 1y agoCS was my intro to programming as well. Although for me it was in a very simplistic form - buy macros. It was something like this in the userconfig.cfg that would load when you start the game: ``` alias "buyak" "buy ak47; buy vesthelm; buy primammo" bind "F1" "buyak" ``` I guess this is more configuration than programming but as a kid it was a significant threshold still. It also delighted me that you could bring up a console in game. So cool.
