Haha, same. And that's how I got into programming, making homebrew games for my PSP - I taught myself C++, and I even participated in several competitions for homebrew, PSPSnake was one that got thousands of downloads, for a 15 year old that was crazy cool.

Haha first piece of code I wrote in C++, when I was in highschool, was for April fools joke - I made a homebrew app that should do something really could (I can't remember) and after few seconds of loading, it displayed a blue screen saying "skynet" has breached your PSP and you got pawned. After 3 seconds it showed "It's April 1 you fool". It was so stupid. It took me forever to make, but it was worth it. I gave my friends from the local PSP scene a heart attack, then a good laugh of relief.

Fun times.
