Like many of you, way back in middle school I began programming calculators. After I got the basics down, I went online to find more information on how to make a 3D game (I had little knowledge of trig at this point in my life...). Somewhere I stumbled across elfprince13's email address (probably on ticalc) and sent him this email:
He responded with:
And with that I made my very first internet friend.
The next day, he directed me to a little website called cemetech.net, and I made this account (and haven't changed my profile picture since!). I became friends with Kerm (which I thought was his real name for a decent amount of time), calc84maniac, and many others.
I've actually visited elfprince13 in Vermont, and I'll definitely hit up Kerm the next time I find myself in NYC.
I continued programming all throughout high school, and ended up going to study it at university. I'm 20 now, 7 years more than the 13 year old who first ventured onto this site, and I'll be graduating in the spring. I have a job lined up in Seattle after graduation, so I'll be moving across the country for that.
I know that probably the majority of Cemetechers these days are not the same ones that were here 7 years ago, and my activity has waned significantly, but I just thought I'd share how Cemetech and programming have pretty much defined the course my life took!

You seem to be a very avid TI BASIC programmer, and I am decent... I googled TIBASIC 3D rendering and the third page was one with this email. I really want to learn how to make a 3 game. Just a cube rotate around... if you could email me back with an example or any help at all it would be greatly appreiciated.
