What got me into coding as a kid was modding games that I was already playing. Changing variables in GORILLA.BAS so they threw bananas at a faster speed. Messing with sprite files in Command and Conquer so I could design my own infantrymen. Anything where my changes gave me instant feedback was exhilarating. I think Minecraft and Roblox are the analogs today.
