Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 8446376" data-attributes="member: 6779310">My other hobbies at age 15 were videogames and boardgames, and computer programming. Not much has changed. I added heraldry in 1989.Since  music was part of my employment for over 15 years, and part of college for 6...  I don't consider it a hobby. And age has disinclined me to practice much... The fiddles are too hard on the bad arm; the banjo and guitar have never been fluid, and my trigger finger issue almost guarantees that it remains that way (all 8 fingers, plus one thumb)...I dabble a bit in programming - have since 1977.My programming trek, by language: TRS80-Basic (on Model I), Applesoft Basic (on Apple II+), then TS1000 basic. then several more basics (Kaypro II, Adam)... finally, in college, VaxBasic and Hypercard. For VaxBasic, the test was "Here's some code... Execute it by hand. Show all work." Later, I learned C/C++ on a Mac... and then on PalmOS. I spent some time learning HTML and SSHTML And Newton Script on an MP130. Then tried BF, and Cathol. Tried MS-VB, much preferred Visual Mac Standard Basic... And Javascript, then a little Java,  And TNT Basic (now multi-platform). Finally, Javascript, the Python. I like Python. Somewhere along the way, I started dabbling in Inform 6 and Inform 7. I don't think any of them would end without RPGing. Without gaming entirely? I'd not be me at all; I'd probably have gone off on somebody and gotten meself arrested or worse.</blockquote>
