I initially started learning to code in middle school with QBasic around 1999. I'm 30 now so we were around the same age when we started discovering programming. Anyways, I stole my high-school brother's geometry book to learn about sines and cosines so I could make things move in a circle.

I made a qbasic baseball game when I was in high-school, about 1995. I was so proud of how I made the baseball go towards the mound by using a for loop and increasing the size of a white circle

After my friend showed me QBASIC in elementary school, I fired it up at home and made a new file called Football (I had been playing that on the NES). Then I tried to run it.
