10:10 PM | Link | After Dad and I purchased the Atari 800, I began reading programming magazines and writing games right and left in Atari Basic. One cool feature of the Atari operating system was called Player-Missle Graphics, which allowed you to create cool sprite animation (I even did a presentation on this kind of programming for a class in high school). My best game was called Space Assault, which was similar to Missile Command, but who cares? I sent the code to my favorite magazine, ANALOG Computing, and several months later they published it! I received a check for $360.00, which was huge money for a kid, and with dollar signs in my eyes, I decided then and there that software was the life for me! In a way, the pages you see here are the beginnings of WEBmikey, because I might not be building web sites today if I hadn't made that money. |
