Last time I tested was in high school and I scored 95 to 100 WPM. The typing teacher tried like crazy to get me to use the preferred style and home-row based typing but after I beat her one on one....she let me stick with my method. I've slowed down some since then due to the recent heavy reliance on the mouse. I learned to type playing text adventure games and let me tell you when an orc is chasing after you with a big axe you learn to type pretty fast.

No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language; there are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes.

I might say the very same thing, however, it was actually MUD clients and IRC clients that got me interested in programming to begin with due to their built in programming capabilities. My first "programs" were simple IRC bots that responded to chat room based RPGs. In fact, I remember the first time I took pride in programming was when I got banned from a chat room RPG because I had made a "bot" that could either level or farm for me all night while I wasn't playing. Anyway, that's all off topic and I shouldn't say any more about it.
EDIT: I will say one more thing... Oddly enough, as advanced as that had felt to program at the time, this all still happened before I initially signed up to this forum so that I could ask what while(1){ } was supposed to mean.

I guess wanting your "bot" to work forever rather than just for one night was the next step, heheh.Originally Posted by SlyMaelstrom
