Why I Code

My passion for programming stems from my love of organization, enthusiasm for intellectual puzzles, and the feeling of freedom and amazement from seeing ideas jump to life.

A Little Background

My first experience with editing code was long before I ever learned my first programming language. At the age of 12, my younger sister and I discovered a virtual pets game entitled Petz 3. In being as creative and curious as ever, I soon discovered via the internet that people were actually creating their own "breedz". With extensive research I tried to figure out how to do this myself. Finally, with some help from my father, I had at my fingertips a way for me to edit the code. Each breed was an individual file, and by replacing colours in hexadecimal, sizes, and values for the different body parts, I found my first outlet for programming.
