Yeah, when I 10 or 12 years old, I found a book with simple games in Basic. I had fun copying from it and learned a bit of programming.

My daughter is currently more interested in playing existing games instead of creating her own. I would probably look into how to create something in Roblox if this would fit for the game.

I remember in grade... 3? a kid at school was showing me books from the library about how to make a game in Basic. Then one day he finally had it going. It was amazing to see. I can't remember what it was, but it would have been the simplest thing. But it was still amazing.

Modding her favorite game could proof a entry drug to the industry.
