Hi all,

A couple of months ago, I finally decided to create my own video games!  Since I was a little boy I’ve always dreamed of making my own game.  Video Games saved me from many bad influences growing up, so I hold it near and dear to my heart.  I graduated in 2010 with a CS/Comp E degree and since then I’ve been getting other things together with my life.  The past 3 years all I’ve written in is mostly SQL with a little bit of java but nothing crazy.  I wish I started this journey while I was in college or immediately after, but better late than never, right?

I’m still learning tons, mainly researching and reading a lot, and I started by doing C++ tutorials using SDL. So far it’s been extremely fun but haven’t done much other than a pong clone but I’m working on a puzzle game (after I learn/convert to SDL 2.0).  I’m skeptical I’ll be able to get a complete game or that it’ll be good, but I’m going to try my hardest and have fun!

Language: C++

IDE: Visual Studio

Library: SDL 2.0

Art: Gimp/Paint

Music/Sound: Logic or FL Studio (haven’t picked one yet), sfxr or bfxr
