My very first basic was on an Amiga; Amibasic I believe. I was probably 9 years old. And I did a lot of coding in Easy Amos, but I never really managed to make anything interesting in it. I kept wondering how to split the "reading point" as I called it, so I could maybe make a ball move while something else was happening. The whole vblank thing, and sequential-yet-seemingly-simultaneous execution hadn't clicked yet. I think I was mislead by INPUT $A pausing everything.

In fact, it was probably in KnP that I first realized that everything was not actually "happening at the same time" when one event would get precedence over another; how shifting the sorting of events changed game behavior. And those one day became lines of code, etc. I really owe a lot to the program.

I played a lot of those "Reader Games" submitted to Amiga Format, back in the day. Most of them were made in Amos. Some of them were quality, and some... Some were glorious trainwrecks.
