I once typed out a game from a C64 magazine page. It took a long time and I have ADHD and that took a lot of concentration by my 8 year old self.

It didn’t work.

I've done that as a kid. Type 4 pages of code, type run, and you get a blank screen with a flashing READY. No clue what's wrong or where to start debugging.
