I started with BBC Basic, moved on to gwbasic then to C, and the rest, as they say, is history. First program I ever wrote was a game called Spider. I created person and spider characters (as in patching over existing letters in the standard character set), put them on a playing surface and the spider tried to catch the person as they moved around to pick up asterisks. Really simple but huge fun. I was hooked. Still am. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/
