Lol, funnily enough, I did pretty much the exact same thing regarding learning C at the age of 12, ended up writing an OpenGL game for the PlayStation Portable which I released for the Neoflash competition:

Since then programming games was always my obsession, and just a few months ago I fulfilled my life long dream and got a job as a gameplay programmer at Ubisoft.




I did the same! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9yyLlstPtE was my first C program, unfortunately I don't have a job at Ubisoft, I didn't continue with game dev but went for web.


Wow, the world is super small sometimes! I never though I would meet another person who participated in those competitions ;-)


That's awesome! And congratulations on the dream job!
