What is the best computer program you ever created yourself and which programming language was it?
I am a beginner at coding so for me it is either a chatting robot or a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter both created using small basic. -
I spent most of my time in physics writing programs on my TI-83.
That's why the only thing that I remember from physics is that gravity accelerates at 9.8m/s/s...

Best thing I ever programmed was this flashing light thing.
Made it flash in a pattern... -
HTML coding count?

A program that could send messages to anyone over the school network.. This was 14 years ago.. Spamming a teacher while using a overhead projector almost got me kicked out of school..

The game of life.
It was a couple of arrays displaying populated areas neighboring each other. There were rules for cells being born/dying with a certain amount of neighbors. We went through 5 generations.
It was also a basic program written in c++.

I guess I would have to say my favorite creation was an encryption/decryption tool I wrote in Perl about 10 years ago called "ednigma".
I still use it from time to time. I wrote it after reading PGP by O'Reilly books.
It is the only known unbreakable algorithm, and it's almost never used because it's so damned inconvenient.

Programmed something in Visual Basic that assisted in finding training and certified statistics of personnel for military so commanders could easily find deployability status of any division, unit, etc quickly. That's a basic part of it but there was a lot more to it, but explaining it would start to bore everyone. I actually wasnt ordered to create it, I was just tired of how long it took to gather this information when a commander asked training status of a dept, division, unit etc. Then the commanding officer and XO appreciated the accuracy of it and efficiency...of course this got others in trouble when I could easily gather THEIR information and find they fudged their numbers to not look as bad. This resulted in an 80% increase in qualifications though.

I guess I've programmed more interesting things, but I'd say that one helped a lot of people and it had an impact I never imagined it would.

No, it's not PGP. PGP became a for profit program, but cannot get FIPS compliance due to licensing issues. Therefore the Government generally won't buy it, and it's struggling. The compatible and free Linux GPG is alive and well.The book "PGP" is more about the fight for keeping "military-grade" encryption in public hands, which was a big deal in the late 80s, and early 90s because these programs were classified as munitions and would be illegal to own. So it discusses many types of encryption and the history of it.
I wrote an implementation of a "one time pad" system, used mainly during the cold war. It's a very secure implementation, and simple. It securely erases the original file, and seemlessly uses gzip on the encoded file. It works with text or binary.
It's very much like RC4, but used in a secure way, unlike what SSL and WEP did with it.

I can't remember the name of the computer, or the language but it was back in the 70's and it was one of those ones you plug into the TV (not a commodore 64). Anyway it came with a user book that taught you to write basic programs like a bouncing ball across the screen. Well the extent of my programing was to change the ball to jet fighters. The problem was the computer didn't have a hard drive or a disk/tape recorder to save the programme. As such I had to retype it from scratch each time.

I've made a few 💻 scripts.
Those count? -
