I started programming as a sophomore in high school, trying to code a text-based RPG on my TI-83+. It was a horrible morass of ifs and gotos, since I didn't know how loops worked =P

I then took some C++ and Java classes my junior and senior year, and majored in CS in college. I did a lot of hacking on open source stuff during college too, which really helped fill in some of the gaps the more academically-oriented cirriculum had in it.

A text based RPG on a calculator, that sounds fantastic!
