I smiled at psycho (spent a lot of time composing random and lines). You didn't try the fire graphical trick / demo ?

Doesn't have the pascal source?

agumonkey2• 10 years ago

I just remembered it was mostly inline asm, like http://sh1.webring.com/people/gu/um_3792/demos.html

ps: here is the description in pseudo code (4 lines near bottom) http://pascal.sources.ru/demo/otfire.htm

tl;dr: it's a very approximative diffusion process.

yes, sorry I don't think the source survived. I will keep looking

found it! It had a different filename:

I also have code that I wrote since the very beginning and it's amazing to see how we improved over time.

I love this. Makes me want to put my childhood code on github. Thanks!

The best thing about old first-time programs is the naming. It can be quite revealing and unexpected when you remember where the name came from (or might have come). I liked the "psycho" program with its graphical glory. By name only it could've been nearly anything. I think I also might have had a program called "psycho" in the very early years...

It is really gratifying in a way that I can't really say, that all of these old programs I wrote for myself and by myself as a young teenager are now, 25 years later, getting attention by people all over the world. It's crazy and awesome - thanks!

I'm jealous of you guys :( I wrote my first line of code at 19, almost 20. I'm now almost 22 and hoping to work in the field after graduating this summer
