Amen to this. I wrote my first computer battleship game at the age of 6 on a TI-99/4a and that computer is still making the rounds of the family. 3000 lines of code for a 6 year old is a big deal in anyones books. I still remember how amazed I was when it ran first time with only a minor glitch with the colours I had chosen for the explosion effects. That was the begining of my fascination with programming and I haven't looked back. None of the code I wrote even came from the BASIC book that came with the computer - I used it as a reference for the keywords only....GOTO is your friend :)
