- Summary:
- This is my old profile: I\\\'ve had extensive experience in programming. It started with batch files when I was 12, and has blossumed with 4 years of schooling, 3 schools, and 2 years of solid work experience doing commercial-grade programming. Most of my commercial work was in VB, so I came to hate that language very quickly. It\\\'s cheap, and it gets the job done, but it\\\'s horribly sloppy, slow, and buggy to boot. I\\\'m adept at C, I learned a bit in school, but then learned the rest by reading books by Andre LaMothe and Diana Gruber, while writing quake mods which I never released on the internet. I have a specialty in AI and universal algorithms. I make a better project manager than anything. I can learn a language almost overnight, as I understand the structure behind programming itself and it\\\'s application amongst ALL languages. I\\\'ve always enjoyed video games, and written a few games just to advance my ability to program. *never released and not of a quality to ever be* .. Now I have a project based on a book a friend and I wrote for 4 years. It\\\'s helped us come up with some of the most revolutionary designs in game creation to date. As of yet, there is no code to the game, it\\\'s all in finaliazation and pre-production. This game is looking like something that will change the computer world. I hesitate to tell anyone specifics for
A) Legal reasons
B) It\\\'s my life project and goal to complete this game
C) It\\\'s my baby, and I hate to see anyone involved in the project not love it like I do.
Now.. here\'s the update. I\'ve been through alot and want to get back to my old love of programming. Video game programming for fun. Going to work as much as I can on it, maybe make something of it professionally but I doubt it. More interested in doing it for me. My portfolio includes \"teambot-x\" (a mod for the original quake), \"seige\" (a mechwarrior 4 map), \"siege 2\" (another mechwarrior 4 map); and a hand ina few other miscellaneous projects. I also have the stuff from my attempt to make a programming company.
