Thread: what was your first game?

My first program that could be considered a game (maybe) is Ballz, a breakout clone using SDL. I think I got the idea from Magos about 5 months ago. It took about 8-10 hours of programming/troubleshooting over 3 days to make, and I was pretty proud of it at the time . The cool thing was that for my Java final exam, he told us to make a box with a ball that bounces around. It was hard to keep from laughing heh.

Oh yeah here's the game (sorry lost source in a format ).

My first game was Hangman (console). Now I'm coding my second game called Snake (console).

Yeah I kinda just figured 'z' was a cool letter...and...um...yeah...

mine was a racing game using BMP graphics in Logo. It has oil slicks, trees, grass that slowed you down, tires that bumped you backwards, and the oil slicks spun you out. It even used soundon[value] to simulate engine sounds, bump sounds, stalls, and tire squeals. it was like a gameboy game, but i can't find the file. i think its on this floppy, no, how about this one. Dang. Its somewhere. I'll post it, once i find it!
