Keep learning.
It's exciting isn't it!
My first was a dice program in Visual BASIC.
Nice job, I know how satisfying it is to create something like this, even if it's simple. I had to learn C++ and Visual BASIC in school and....uh. I hated it.
Whoo!
My first program was... I think a console app that would take 2 numbers and add them. Keep going, programming is awesome fun.
@Ironic, VB is utter shit, and C++ really isn't a language to learn as your first (This function returns what? A pointer to an array of pointers pointing to arrays of characters that represent floating point integers? ...what.), but stuff like Python is a brilliant language to both start, and continue with. Fairly easy to get your head round, and very powerful. GO GO GO I expect Crysis 2 by october.
Keep trying :) I'm nearly in the process of learning this kind of programming, Visual Basic, Dark Basic and C++.
I don't even remember my first program anymore... it was so long ago. This is nice, though! Keep it up!
Grats!
My first first program printed a message.
Also, I made a tank battle type game in PASCAL, using print statements. It was functional and horrible, but I'm pretty sure I had like two types of weapons...
Hello world!
Congrats on that. It must be really exciting to accomplish something creative and complex. Build on it yo!
@NORM9: Lol at the Hello world! That's the first thing I learned in BASIC for the Commodore 64. It's funny how that little phrase could make you feel so proud as it spilled down the screen.
... How did you make it a .exe? I want to make my Python scripts .exes!
Oh, I just downloaded the whole Python programming language. That makes sense.
Also, you should do this:
from time import time, ctime
print ctime(time())
start_time = ctime(time())
count = 0
while count < 1000000000000000000000000000000000000:
print count
count = count + 1
print "Started at: ",start_time
print "Ended at", ctime(time())
raw_input()
LOL my first program was a simple calculator on Qbasic. I also made some jiggy stuff on LOGO in school. It's been 12 years...aah those days... so sweet...
Dead Movie Star, to make it an .exe, you download py2exe. You can find a real easy tutorial online. It's simple as to use. Also, I have another loop, which is effectively the same as yours. Thanks for the comment!
