Later On
I started to learn how to program when I was about 10 years old. My
grandfather gave me a TRS 80 Color Computer 2 that he purchased at an
auction and I started to write my first few lines of code using Color BASIC. I remember taking my Color BASIC book over to my Dads and asked him if I can program on his computer too. I quickly learned that my Color BASIC commands were not working for the MS BASIC that he had running on his computer so he provided me with the MS BASIC book. I was a bit discouraged as I instantly become overloaded by the fact that there was more than one BASIC language.
Game Development
I developed an interest in computing at a very early age. When I was in the 8th grade I traded a handful of my games about 7 or so for the original Final Fantasy. I still remember how upset my mother was because I had traded so many games for a single one, but I didn't need any other games at that time. I was inspired by Final Fantasy and as I was playing through it I decided I would like to make a game like Final Fantasy. I wanted to develop the monsters and the hit points and everything else that it takes to make an RPG game.
