How old were you when you started DIV/Fenix/Booleansoup/Whatever and how old are you now. I was 15 years old when I joined div-arena in 2000. I uploaded my first wip in 2001 called "Tanks" which was just driving around with a tank killing other tanks. I am now 37 which means that if the same amount of time passes again I will be 59 years old. ____________ Kwakkel |

I was 12 years old when I joined DIV-Arena in 2000. I had tried DIV Games Studio two years before but I couldn't understand what the text space was for (code..). Anyway so when I was in the first year of high school I got in contact with Visual Basic, which I learned a little bit from, and then after I was able to pick up DIV Games Studio 1. I had several small graphical demos in the game galleries of DIV-ARENA. I was always after making a good strategy game, which never worked out completely. In 2003 I got DIV 2. Sadly this period passed much too quickly when I was in school and didn't have the time to program DIV. I quickly picked up Fenix the next year. I was very happy to use this and it lasted quite long. I was working on an isometric strategy game. I'm just hoping there is a future for these DIV languages. Especially Bennu I hope will surpass version 1.0 one day, and why should there not be a DIV 3 too! ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

I guess I was between 12 and 15, who knows for sure? Now 35. And my back aches.  I remember waiting 30 minutes to download some few MB WIPs over dial up internet... >if the same amount of time passes again I will be 59 years old. That's a scary thought Nowadays my main hobby is flying FPV drones. Anyone else try this? It's like videogames in real life! [Edited on January 1, 2023 by DTM] ____________ :o |

No, I havent flown a drone before. Nowadays my job involves a lot of analysis. I more describe how something will be coded, less than coding it myself. Being self-employed and having picked up my Japanese language classes again since september 2021, I have less free time. I also need to exercise more and I have my music as a hobby. Anyway, I fill about 80% of my free time at home with playing Minecraft. I could also try to create a minecraft mod or plugin, but I cannot find the courage. ____________ Kwakkel |

I think I saw the first advert for DIV when I was 12 (in some computer magazine) but I think I could only get my hands on it when I was 13. Initially i just created variations of the tutorial. And I also made my own website in HTML to promote my game, that was essentially the completed tutorial. I also had some back aches. I'm doing excersises with a coach who knows physio, and that seems to work for me. I don't have much problems since then. ____________ |
