Hey Gia,
that's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that the generation of coding frenzies isn't dead after all! Sometimes I felt that we were the first and last generation that truely had that urge to program!
Needless to say I'm super happy to hear that you're into it! I'll have to go check out what you're doing.
When I was 17 I was coding in assembler on the Amiga, which felt like a toy after having programmed in disassambler on the C64. I had to hurl myself into the guts of the Amiga1200 back then, since there was no documentation available on how to use any of the "fancy" hardware back then (GFX most of all). Those were the days... (hurl)...but still full of passion.
I've just discovered 2d about two years ago, when I wrote my first (adobe) After Effects plugins (first a color correction filter, then ZbornToy!). Ever since I started feeling that there's still a powerful fun-potential in 2d, besides the ease! But then, if you've been drawing and painting all your life, then you have a certain understanding on just how cool 2d can be.
Sorry for loading up the post with this..hehe...but yeah, it's also the first time I get to talk about this stuff! 8)
