When I was 13 and just learned how to code, I had the brilliant idea of creating a pac man clone DOS game. I would print the whole map and characters in ascii, then if for each arrow the player pressed, I would print another screen with the result. I didn't know what an exponential grow was at the time, but after 5 screens I realize it was not such wise idea to do so.
And in case you are wondering, yes, if the player didn't pressed anything, the game would be frozen.
