The wiki is now hosted by GameDev.NET at wiki.gamedev.net. All gpwiki.org content has been moved to the new server. However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello. Real Name: Jim Perry Age: born in 1966, figure it out :) (be glad I didn't use binary for the year :D) Occupation: Programmer Location: Abingdon, MD, USA I've been programming since 1980. Some of the languages I've used (earliest to latest): COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, BASIC, C/C++, VB/VB.NET, C# I was lucky enough to have spent 3 years in the game industry at BreakAway Games working on games that one might actually find on a shelf at a store. Some of the games I contributed to:
although I'm not in the industry at this point, I'm still trying to create games. I've got several works in-progress that I'm hoping see the light of day. I'm also a moderator on several gaming forums which you might have heard of GameDev.net and IGDA as well as several VB forums. I'm a fairly hard-core gamer, playing almost every genre. I've spent several years playing MMORPGs (EQ and DAoC), beta-testing several. My greatest interest is in RPGs, both single and multiplayer, so much so that I'm working on one in my spare time and have written a beginner's tutorial on creating them (find it here). If I'm not playing a PC game, I'm on my Xbox (gamertag Machaira - I have very few people on my friends list so I'll trade requests with almost anyone :D ). I get together with friends often to play LAN games of Halo2. I'm married and the father of a precocious son who has been playing on the PC since he was 2. At 3 he was surfing the web and playing Xbox (although he's not quite ready for Halo yet! ;) ). |
