One of my few memories from elementary school was writing a terminal game to play with myself in Python 2. I didn't know time.sleep existed, so I had homebaked my own to the tune of

for _ in range(C * num_seconds):
    pass

with C worked out empirically. Back then I had two-space indents, and my editor was DrPython.

I kinda wish I could see the old programs just to laugh at it, but I don't know if I still have that ancient laptop.
