I didn't even know about programming til I got hooked on Mortal Kombat on the SNES. Then I started asking my freshmen year of high school where I learned of C++ and game development. Sadly I suck at both lol.
@chrisname:
You almost threw me off with that hexadecimal...for a second I almost thought you were actually 1110 (almost 1210)!
Anyways.
I took a beginning C++ programming class over the summer back in 2010.
Feels like I've come a looooong way since then. (though, of course, there's always still a lot left to be learned)
So that would mean that I started when I was...just barely 13 (hmm, had to actually do the math).
Wait, hang on.
I'm still only 14 right now (almost 15)...
I'm... going on 20 and have been coding for nearly 8 years. My first language was Unrealscript, then Java, then C++ (which I originally learned to make a native anti-cheat for Unreal Tournament 2004). Then I moved to D because I don't think C++ is the future and I grew tired of some of its flaws. Now I use a mixture of C and C++ for libraries, and D for applications based on libraries (since the garbage collector is currently... garbage).
