DISCLAIMER: This repository contains my earliest code ever. It's a mess, and its only purpose is as a hitorical curiosity. If anything, you should use this code to learn what not to do.
This repository contains the code that I wrote when first learning how to program computers. You'll need to have Python installed to play around with it.
In chronological order:
-
November 14, 2007: Test4.py
- I wrote Test4.py within two weeks of looking at the Python manual for the first time. A very simple first step, it did a crude job of emulating a login prompt.
-
December 6, 2007: 13.py
- With 13.py, I expanded my fake login prompt into a fake operating system shell. The bugs in this version make it almost unusable.
-
December 6, 2007: 14.py
-
14.py fixes the major stability issues from 13.py, and is actually kind of fun to fool around with.
-
The username is "Daniel", and the password is "Feathers". Or, if you would like to login as an unprivileged user (my old cat), you may login as "Oliver", with the password "Cat".
-
You may notice strongly-worded warnings that "root mode" can damage your computer. Ignore them; these programs are harmless toys, and the warnings are purely atmospheric.

-
December 9, 2007: 19.py
- 19.py consolidated much of the user information from a bunch of separate data structures into the User class.
-
December 11, 2007: 20.py
- By 20.py, the program could save users to, and load users from, a file.
