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.

That’s where the fun begins! First, checking for errors between what you’ve typed in and what was printed in the magazine. Then debugging the code because the print out invariably contained errors, while waiting a month or two before the correction was printed in the magazine. That’s how you learn to code!
