I made a fake 3d game in visual basic.. basically I had a ton of image boxes and each area had its own function hardcoded for what image boxes to display with what images. I thought it was pretty cool

Besides that my first completed project was probably a custom textfile database I wrote in perl. I made a version that worked through console and one for web queries. It was totally rough and messy but the search and data was flexible

My first project was a tetris game. I developed it in TC++ 3.0 with BGI graphics.

Mine was called txtMess and it was my very first C++ "project".

It basically creates text files all over your windows harddrive all containing teh same text. I can remember i found it hard because i had to name each file differently so taht if tehy endd up in the same directory they wouldn't overwrite each other. It took a whiel to figure out what i want but in teh end i realise di needed to convert an int that ++'s for each file to a string for the filename.

It was cool when it worked, but then i had to make a tool to remove them all, which wasn't too hard. I think i still have the proggie somewhere.

Hmmm, I've never had a first Python project. My first project of any consequence was a vending-machine simulator written in C++ with classes and explicit dynamic memory allocation. It was a disaster. That was a long time ago. I didn't actually figure out how pointers worked until after that course, even though they were rather critical to the whole project....

Heh your not alone, many people find pointers hard.

I can't remember what my first Python project was

I was overjoyed the first time I successfully triply dereferenced a pointer! (Not by choice, but because the project required it....)

i think the "pro" and "am" could be weeded out a little better here...

a lot are probably missing the point...

unless that's what the OP intended, in that case forgive me.
