No lie, after taking about 2 weeks of my first programming course in university, I did almost exactly this, trying to make a poker game.
I hadn't learned about objects, or functions, or even loops. Just one big method that had an
if
for every hand permutation.I hadn't ever been exposed to programming before, and I loved it, but I knew nothing about it. Those were the only tools I had in my toolbox, and you know what they say about how when you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
I'm a professional dev now, so I really hope I grew out of it lol
Time to get some qbasic coding in, your if and goto experience will do wonders
