Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them
I’m currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly
Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3
If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active
What got you interested in programming (or tech in general)? And what was your first language/programming experience?
The first thing that got me interested was mainly on the game dev side. In grades 5 & 6 a lot of people in my class would make games on scratch and then play each others stuff. There was also someone in my class who was making stuff like a website, etc. that I thought looked really cool so wanted to start doing my own stuff similar to that. Then when I was in grade 7 there was two main games that were popular and developed primarily by one person each (Undertale by Toby Fox and Five Nights at Freddys by Scott Cawthon). Seeing and enjoying those games started making me think that if they can do it then I can too so I starting doing a bunch of things relating to programming.
For tech in general it would be playing warcraft 3 when I was 5
