My first programs: Old Pascal programs I wrote in the early nineties

I also have code that I wrote since the very beginning and it's amazing to see how we improved over time.
The best thing about old first-time programs is the naming. It can be quite revealing and unexpected when you remember where the name came from (or might have come). I liked the "psycho" program with its graphical glory. By name only it could've been nearly anything. I think I also might have had a program called "psycho" in the very early years...
I smiled at psycho (spent a lot of time composing random and lines). You didn't try the fire graphical trick / demo ?
Doesn't have the pascal source?
I just remembered it was mostly inline asm, like http://sh1.webring.com/people/gu/um_3792/demos.html
ps: here is the description in pseudo code (4 lines near bottom) http://pascal.sources.ru/demo/otfire.htm
tl;dr: it's a very approximative diffusion process.

found it! It had a different filename:

yes, sorry I don't think the source survived. I will keep looking
It is really gratifying in a way that I can't really say, that all of these old programs I wrote for myself and by myself as a young teenager are now, 25 years later, getting attention by people all over the world. It's crazy and awesome - thanks!
I'm jealous of you guys :( I wrote my first line of code at 19, almost 20. I'm now almost 22 and hoping to work in the field after graduating this summer
I love this. Makes me want to put my childhood code on github. Thanks!
