Hey, I am Dejai. I missed this post... Anyway I am 15 years old and I am really enjoying programming. I hope to get into operating system programing when I am a bit older but currently I like to code games.. I have watched all your videos, and I check almost on a daily basis to see whether you guys have posted a new video... You inspire me to program using low level libraries. I think your 2d project is awesome and it pisses me off how ignorant most of the people that comment on youtube are. Anyway I love the project I hope to become a valid community member.

Oh and one more thing. I admit I am a noob, I don't want to take credit for other peoples work and I support open source.

The name is... *insert boring personal info here*... experience with VB, C++, SDL, AutoIt, HTML/JavaScript, wee bit of Lua. Pretty much suck at art, and anything else that requires creativity, love to program. Gets way too excited over new Adventures in Game Development chapters. What can I say, I love these guys.

Usergroups tab under your user control panel, ctrl+f, interviewees. Hit the radio button on the right and scroll to the bottom, use the drop down list.

#include <iostream> // yea, lame. I know.

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, World! I'm new!";
return 0;
}
[sethslade] - I've always wanted to make my own programming language. Or OS. Or both. But then AP calc slaps me in the face and says, "NO TIME, BITCH!"

Howdy guys, just figured I'd introduce myself.

I'm a Software Engineer slash Wanna-be-game-developer. I originally got into programming when I was like 14, cuz I wanted to make video games. So now, I'm 27 and develop business applications in C#. But, I haven't lost my passion for game development.

I've made a few puzzle games and 2D sidescrollers in Java, J2ME, C++, and C#. (I even made a puzzle game in Javascript! :mrgreen: ) But now I'm delving into 3D game development for the first time - using Ogre3D, C++, and Lua. I gotta thank Falco for his videos on Lua! Dude, you inspired me to go out and do some research. Now I've got Lua integrated into my game, and I love it!

P.S. Falco, I'm from Alabama too. I was born in Dothan. 8-)

Oh, wow! A software engineer! It's great to have somebody really knowledgeable around here. I'm working on my Computer Engineering degree, right now. I'm almost a junior.

And yeah, lua is seriously badass. I'm actually currently working on it. Or I was, until I fell asleep on the job...
