Unrelated to the actual work here (which is interesting!), I just wanted to mention how much of an awesome impact you must be having on your son. You two seem like such a fun curious pair! I spent a lot of time tinkering away alone in my room as a kid and that sucked. The opportunities you’re giving him now to explore are going to inspire a lifetime of creativity.
I know you don’t need someone on the internet to tell you that, but I thought I’d give kudos where it’s due :)
I second that. I remember finding a manual for programming BASIC in the library once. Overjoyed I was. Then, I spent an entire afternoon trying to type BASIC commands... into the MS-DOS prompt.
If only someone could have told me to go find QBASIC.EXE first, haha
