For me, that was when I was 16 yrs old. Back at my Secondary school; Federal Government collge portharcourt taking Cisco CompTIA A+ and Python programming. This is one the best thing FGC PH did for me! How about you? 1 Like |

Melanin07:wow you are very lucky. Now you are a guru |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 7:20am On Oct 03, 2021 |
Two years ago ...c# and.net. self taught. Learnt it because of my love for game design. Programming is easy, I used to think it was impossible. Currently trying to assimilate python. |

Franzinni:You have a game now? |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 7:42am On Oct 03, 2021 |
stanliwise:working on it ... I guess I am too ambitious ... I will soon create a thread for it tho, it's military based and tells a story we all are familiar with. Aiming for ps4 xbox and pc... Also I need partnerships. It's a whole lot building alone. If you are a game designer we can work together, the greatest disadvantage of the black man is lack of teamwork. 2 Likes |

Franzinni:Have you created any small game? |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 7:45am On Oct 03, 2021 |
stanliwise:why you want to sponsor it? You seem awfully concerned about my progress even after I have told you .. So what is your angle ? Are you asking if I have created temple run? Or tic tac toe! Or space shooters ? |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by stanliwise(m): 7:56am On Oct 03, 2021 |
Franzinni:I just wanted to know if you have any game at all. |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 8:10am On Oct 03, 2021 |
stanliwise:well If you don't have a contribution to make to my progress then your enquiries is totally useless to me. Let me know your intentions and I will let you know the answer. But if you keep on trying to be a wise hat.. well it's your cup of tea. |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by stanliwise(m): 8:19am On Oct 03, 2021 |
Franzinni:Only God know what you have in mind. I may sound creepy but that's not my intentions. If I have anything to advise you. Go and build a one man game for yourself, if you have any plan to pitch to people to invest their time with you. your portfolio would do more of the speaking. Happy sunday 1 Like |

stanliwise:ok at least I know your intentions are rooted in good and not the usual pull them down Nigerian way... ok to answer your question, I have a couple of game ideas which I have started working on, but I don't want to be creating simple casual games I am trying to build a adventure game with plot points and a holistic story... and to be honest, it's a whole lot for one guy hence the speed in progress. But I welcome your advice, it is constructive and I appreciate |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by stanliwise(m): 8:54am On Oct 03, 2021 |
Franzinni:It is understandable you don’t want to create small games but not having any at all to show is way worse. Build a one man nice game. Atleast when people(I mean people who know how game dev works ) sees it they would understand and give you their time because right now it is safe to say you don’t have any practical real life experience to draw from to build a game. |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 9:05am On Oct 03, 2021 |
stanliwise:that is my call to action ... I will do just that... thanks for the wind in my sail. I will document my progress as well . |

Franzinni: Start small, start simple. A game developer whose portfolio is just full of... ideas? you get how that sounds? ditch the big, start small, climb up. can't skip no rungs on the ladder, it don't work like that. |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Franzinni: 10:37am On Oct 05, 2021 |
TruthUntold:I totally appreciate your advice and I will take it 100percent. I will start small something to put in my portfolio because when the other guy asked what I have done and finished ,it dawned on me... I just have lofty ideas but nothing finished. Thanks once again. |

Mcfi: Did you study computer science or it was just a skill you picked up. Please I'm inquisitive to know. I need motivation |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Mcfi(m): 10:45pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
davidbukz4: I studied computer science. So that was where my motivation started. What did you studied? |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by davidbukz4: 12:29pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Mcfi: I studied Electrical engineering |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Mcfi(m): 1:59pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
davidbukz4: That doesn’t matter. Have you started learning anyone at all? |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by davidbukz4: 4:15pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Mcfi: Yeah I started learning C two months ago sha...although I'm done with that. I planned on working on one or two personal project to grasp the language concepts very well before moving to another |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by Mcfi(m): 5:24pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
davidbukz4: Focus on one first and be very very good in it. Then you can learn others as a subordinate. Google is your best teacher because there’s no problem in programming you will face that has not been solved. Then when you can’t scale through, you seek for professional advice. YouTube is another place to get good tutorials. As you are learning, try stuffs with real life projects. That will make you focus more and gain more interest in the lesson |
Re: At What Age Did You Start Programming by davidbukz4: 6:34pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Mcfi: Right Thanks for the advice I'll keep pushing |
