Well, at 13 I did build some weird CLI based text adventures in c++, mostly imperative style and badly written. I knew only how to declare a variable, how to cout/cin, loops and conditions, due to the fact that access to information was almost impossible (we had something like a subscription plan with a limited 20 hours of internet, and finding websites that I could understand about developing in C++ was hard).

I remember the feeling I had the day I learned about classes and functions, a true "wow" moment.

Unfortunately those text adventures died with the hard drive of the computer my parents had.
