My grandmother loves to tell me that when I was just a couple years old, I would insist on sitting on her lap at the computer, moving the mouse around with hands that could barely reach the buttons. My parents generally encouraged me, buying me a desktop computer when I was around 6 or 7 along with a fantastic piece of software called *The Games Factory 2* just a little while later. TGF2 is a drag-and-drop game engine that acted as my introduction to the logic and control flow of programming. + +Throughout my teens I started to teach myself Java and C++. I remember watching a live stream where Notch, the Minecraft guy, made a small dungeon crawler in Java for a game jam. Through a sequence of arcane invokations of trigonometic functions and bitwise functionns, he somehow transformed an array of pixel data into 3D world. It was black magic to me. I remember actually printing his code out paper and going through with a pen tracing through it line by line. I was obsessed. Those are some of my most cherished memories and I emerged from that period of my life an enriched person having learned some of the dark arts for myself. |
