I started programming at 7, i was certainly telling my friends about all the random stuff i barely had a smidge of understanding while trying to program simple games myself - i could barely move a smiley face (DOS ASCII character 2) on screen to collect hearts (DOS ASCII character 3) and yet i was certain i could make a game like Prince of Persia once i figured out how to draw lines on screen with Turbo Pascal's BGI.
