Name Alessandro Re aka AkiRoss

Location Legnano (Milan, Italy)

Homepage http://www.ale-re.net

Occupation Student @ http://www.disco.unimib.it

Birth 17 May 1985

My default language is C, but sometimes I use C++ for complex OOP approaches that involve hierarcal structures. C++ it's giving it's way...

Sometimes I use PYTHON for Blender Scripts or in conjunction with PyGTK for simple GUI apps, or Qt on C++.

PHP, JavaScript, XHTML and CSS for web scripting. I took a look at SVG, but I mostly don't use it: not that good integration that i was expecting.

All my games are made using C/C++, SDL and optionally OpenGL, since I use Linux and OSX, I need code portability.

My default toolkit is Trolltech's Qt: fast, portable, easy, powerful, free. That's enough.

I prefer (FL)OSS, and licenses like GNU/GPL or GNU/LGPL.

Actually I'm working on a clone of Soldat. Not really a clone, it uses different maps, protocols, graphics, etc. Rewritten from scratch, no rev. eng. has been done yet.
Others project are less concrete, so I won't list them

Actually I've 1 computer: a workstation (for developing), while the notebook is dead :D

I hope to get a Sun workstation in future, when Aether will die. Good hardware, good support, good Sun.
