What’s the Oldest Program You Have That You Wrote?
The oldest piece of code I have that I wrote is a text-based poker program.
Here’s a screenshot:
I wrote it for my first college computer programming class in 1995.
To use the code on a unix machine:
tar zxvf Poker-1.0.tar.gz
cd poker-1.0
make
./poker
What’s the oldest program you have that you wrote?

Very cute…I don’t think I have any code I’ve written previous to college. It would be interesting to take a look at some of it though if I find it and see how far I’ve come.

The oldest program I still have)is a QBasic (does that count?) program that solves and plots Simultaneous Equations for my Algebra class.
I did it in 7th grade and I got it listed in a AOL QBasic Library.
