I am gonna start my last semester in CS so for me it was just generally games. I went pretty fast from the game dev aspiring route over to other professional areas in my HS years. What about you?

    It was game design, and I discovered it playing ZZT.

    For the unfamiliar, ZZT was a game that came packaged with the tool used to make the game. A bustling Internet community grew up around making and sharing games using this engine. The ZZT scripting language was one of the first languages I learned, alongside BASIC. Nowadays, game-making engines are chocabloc, but back then it was something special, almost unique.
