        Same. I remember my first magazine script-kiddie code. Whenever you pressed a key on the keyboard, the screen would change to a different solid color.

        OMFG I remember typing in code on my TI-99/4A and then saving it to cassette. I tried writing my own game, but could only figure out how to move one thing at a time on the screen.

        Yup. I remember typing in a sort of blackjack card game, but it was mostly text and used verrrry simple graphics for the cards. More than 1,000 lines of code, “hand crafted” as we say now.
