Hello, and welcome to the Tell My Story topic. Here, you will be able to share your story about how you became a programmer, how you learned about programming, or how you are still working on your programming. All programming levels, programming languages, and Flowlab subscriptions/free accounts welcome. To kick this topic off, I will begin with my story.
I started to learn simple programming in third grade. It was just a short class, nothing special. It was on Scratch (usual for starting out), and we were learning basic functions such as rotating and moving. I got SUPER into designing games. But I didnāt program them yet. I would draw thousands upon thousands of pages illustrating level designs, characters, etc. A year later, my parents bought me a JavaScript programming kit. I worked on it for a while, but didnāt really learn anything from it. I got bored with it, and it eventually ended up in the trash. In summertime of that year, I attended a programming summer camp. Thatās what kicked it off. The programming language was Scratch, but I still learned SO much! They taught me everything, from building you character to physics. On the last day, my head was crammed with knowledge. So I set up and account on Scratch and started programming. A couple years later, in seventh grade, I was moved to a new school. This school, unfortunately, did not allow people to program with Scratch. So I started searching. And I found Flowlab. It was definitely not at itās latest version, but it was still super cool. Since I was ahem broke, I could only afford the free version. Still can. But that was not going to limit me. So I learned more about it and studied it as hard as I could. Fast forward a year later to the present. Iām still learning a lot of stuff in this thing, but Iām definitely getting better at it.
Okay, your turn. Whatās your story?
