My name is Pedro Crespo and I am from Portugal... I like computers/video games. Also, I am interested in content creation.

Welcome! What type of content are you interested in creating?

I am interested in more modern stuff, for example, programming, video/music production. But, I would like to also learn retro-type stuff, like learning how to create BASIC programs and other stuff(I am 18yo, that is why I don´t know Basic...).

We all have to start somewhere!

I've actually downloaded the x16 emulator to try to learn BASIC.

Consider working through the older Commodore Vic 20 or C64 user guide as an introduction to BASIC. Most of the simple programs should run unmodified as they are the same version of BASIC that the X16 uses. There will be some differences that will need to be considered when dealing with the hardware differences, such as screen size and video/sound memory locations. By the time you hit those you'll probably have a good grasp of the language. If you get stuck, there are people in this community who will answer your questions. Happy computing!
