 How did you get started in hacking/programming?
Osmose: 1. I started with a little game by the name of ZZT by Tim Sweeney and Epic Megagames (who would go on to become Epic and create the Unreal Engine). ZZT used ASCII characters as graphics and was an engine on which to run games. It came with the map editor and used a language called ZZT-OOP to control objects.2. It's a lesson I still haven't learned how to follow well, but I've always been more successful just doing things rather than trying to start a large long-term project. I would/still keep getting caught up trying to make a full game or a complete library, and I end up getting caught in planning or setup and never get to the coding part, which is what I actually want to be doing.
