Goals/Realization: At this moment I am pretty unable to become a student. While having some budget problems, I am still working on various web and game projects, and am aiming to acquire a decent experience in programming and web development. You can check out my upcoming projects in this website.
Other Interests: I like to do sports. I am a Traceur and a Bboy. I have been Freerunning for four years years and Bboying fom five years. I also started Beatboxing at the same time when I started dancing. I still do those things in my free time, I enjoy doing them, and as long as my body lets me do them, I will.
About Me: I started programming when I was 7 years old when my dad bought me an Apple PC (called Pravetz 8M in my Country). I learned to program on BASIC by rewriting applications and reading books. I started to make my own applications. After that I changed my PC to a more “powerful one” and continued learning basic, after which I started school, and stopped. After that I found Worldcraft (Valve Hammer Editor before) and some other level editing tools, and started to make maps and mods for the Half Life Engine. I learned how the engine works, and started developing a single player mod. Unfortunately, some of those projects didn’t see bright light.
With that project on, I found about a nifty little program called “Game Maker” Made by a computer scientist named Mark Overmars. It is a really powerful piece of software for developing casual 2D games. A couple of updates later Mark Overmars added 3D support. The program has its own programming language called, the game maker language (GML), which is a really powerful and flexible language. People have even expanded and made commercial and more complex yet professional games.
I Started making my own project and expanding deep. I had made 3 nifty games, with great concept, and then my hard drive burned, leaving me with nothing. After that I started clean, and here I am, trying to recreate the ideas I started bringing to life, which will be published in this website.
Projects Description: After I worked for a year as an Editor for two websites in a company, I gained some pretty serious experience and decided to take matters into my owns hands by building up my own gaming and technology resource website. Along with that I am studying mathematics along with the portions of programming I am trying to accomplish, and working on a couple of other projects. You can find them in this website.
