Hi, Bek. Nice reading! My beggining is almost the same, also with an Atari 800XL in the 90's, but I didn't code anything until a bit later with a 65XE model.
I'm a developer now, but I remember day after day of following instructions. recording the programs on tape, modifying the logic and learning new tricks. It never gets old.
Does this story continue somewhere else? I'm interested on learning more about your journey.
Have a nice day!
Hello Alejandro :)
Indeed, it is magical how great endings from small beginnings [ Sic Parvis Magna ] resonates with both of us, I have a YouTube channel where I teach programming for beginner to intermediate levels and sometimes I allow advanced tutorials as well.
Like you, I follow instructions too, we all should :) if the machine accepts the 0s and1s as instructions , then we should do the same, right ?
Lately, I stopped creating tutorials and simply I sit and code [prepared of course] and just a week ago I have coded a Missile Command game in Python, and I remember I played this game a lot with my father on Atari :) Do you know Missile Command?
You can check out my YouTube channel and I am happy to have you as a friend , Alejandro : youtube.com/channel/UC7EVSn5inapL2...
Tell me more about what you do now, do you freelance or working in a company ?
amazing! Of course I know Missile Commando, that's one of my all time favorite games! River raid, Moctezuma and others.
I will check it out (the channel).
I'm also coding games with Python, specifically PyGame. I can apply what I already know from my work into games and that is cool, the learning curve is not so steep. I would like to transfer this knowledge into a game engine like Godot when I have finished more projects on Python (GDScript is very similar).
Background: right now, I'm working as a Data Engineer and studying software engineering. I already have 4 years of experience, but I wanted to learn the "engineering" part of it.
Finally, I think I should also share what I do here on DEV, maybe it can help others too and connect with more people.
Have a nice day!
You definitely should share you knowledge in DEV and other platforms.
Have a great day my friend.
my new instagram is theamirovichcorp and my facebook is Amir Samuel, you can find me there, happy to have you as a friend.
Cheers
