Any young developer here?

I’m 13, I have been coding since i was 10, but i have been interested in computers and programming almost all my life.

I used to make (extremely simple) python games…

I’m wondering if there is any other young developer participating in Ludum Dare!

If so, feel free to say how you started, etc!

 

Cheers!

(I hope i have posted this on the right place…)

I’m 18.

I’ve been doing LD since I was 15, and coding from around 10 as well.

Hey, What’s Up?

I’m 14 and I’ve been making games for almost 2 years now. It’s kinda cool to see I’m not the only person that’s not a 20+-year-old doing Ludum Dare. I’ve been using Unity the whole way too.

Hi there! I am 14, and have been learning to code since about 8. I taught myself Python, c++, all the web languages, node js, c#, haxe, etc. I think I am pretty fluent in c++ and haxe, and have a strong mindset for clean organised code architecture. No I am not kidding, these arn’t like hello world apps, these are databases and network libraries.

I’m 15, I’ve been coding since mid-elementary school. [though for all you know about me, I could very well be a 50-year-old creepy man, but of course I’m not since I’m admitting that I could be – or maybe that’s just part of the trick! One can never be too careful.] C# is my language of choice, though I learned through Scratch and GameMaker, before going to the web with JavaScript and then PHP, doing some C# console applications, and going back to GameMaker with its built-in language instead of blocks, and then using C# again when I found Unity. I really need to focus more, which is why I’m using Unity again for this LD even though there are other engines better suited to the ideas I’ve had.

Yep, 13 here as well. I currently know Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I started off when I was 7 years old with HTML4 web programming. I’ve since learned HTML5 and CSS to make website better, and Python and JavaScript for making games. This will be my first full Ludum Dare. I plan to use HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript to make my game.

14 years old, been programming since I was six. Mostly code in Javascript , HTML, and CSS, and sometimes python (I can learn languages fast though, I learned the basics of R in couple hours back in elementary school). I am not great at programming games, and I usually code web applications. But so far all the games I have made for ludum dare so far have gotten under 100 in at least one category, hopefully the luck will continue.

Hey! I’m 12, I have a lot of experiance with python and Construct 2. I know how to make games with the module “pygame” and I’ve made a lot of GUI programs with python (using the module tkinter) such as a zipfile editor, music player, email sender, calender etc.

I and a friend of mine are both 16 years old, and so we have so called team ROKTOM. I am programming since 12 years. Not such a genius like people in the posts above :D. I Know C++ and GML (Gamemaker language) quite well, also learning C# and java, but I just started my journey of an OOP programming. Still i’am noob and have only 2 games on android market, both with around 6k downloads. Bye.
