No matter what language type of C++ he is using, I find this an amazing achievement for a high schooler.

I didn't write my first line of code until I was 20 years old in college, and 8 years later I am now a lead developer at one of my country's largest telecommunications companies.

I can't imagine how amazing this guy is going to become being able to build this at such a young age. Keep it up!

I started coding at 8 and didnt turn up nothing special. The only difference between me and my peers is that i earn 5x more but that doesnt mean much, probably just lucky.

There's lots of kids as young as like 12 out there on the internet programming complex projects all on their own.

Granted, it is amateurish code for amateurish projects, but the users don't care and gladly eat it up.

This is mostly related to video games by the way, so mods, cheats, helper programs, bots you name it and the person creating them is often a kid.
