Hello World!

Hello citizens of gamedev, this will mark the beginning of my epic journey through developer journal land. I figure I'll just start with the basics on everything me and you leave you wondering why you spent the last couple minutes reading this.

I'm a 17 year old high school senior living in the very beautiful and smoggy Los Angeles. Today we experienced this wet stuff falling from the sky, I havn't been able to figure out what it is yet. I started getting really into programming just a couple monthes ago, having found the C++ Workshop here on gamedev. However, I first found gamedev a long time ago when I had started working with the Warcraft 3 map editor and more importantly its scripting language. I've also been doing hacky stuff with various languages for years.

What I've been working on recently is the first project of the Workshop, creating my first text-based RPG. Fun stuff:



Yay data processing!

My goal is to have this banged out in the next couple days, continue reading through the C++ book and then begin working on project 2 and eventually turn it 2D with SDL.

I'll also be doing Nanowrimo soon. I have my basic plot written down, involving the devil hiring a man to go back and stop Jesus from being killed. Hilarious events ensue. If you any suggestions feel free to volunteer them, as filling 50,000 words (~200 pages?) of storyline will be quite a feat.

Anywho, that's my first entry.

He giveth and He taketh away.
