Howdy!

Welcome.

Name: Ken Burkhart
Project Phase: Not Much
Age: 21
I program in C++ with OpenGL graphics and sound/input in DX.

Me too, me too! And welcome!

Name: Patrick
Age: 23
Location: Mesquite, TX //less than a mile away from idSoftware
Current Project: ...lunch?
Project Phase: I'm in learning mode right now.

I began programming in May, so I am still a beginner. I have made a couple little games, but I got frustrated with my lack of a real foundation in C++. I am currently taking courses in C++ and reading a LOT of books and tutorials. I am reading "Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX 2nd Ed." by Jim Adams, and "Game Coding Complete" by Mike McShaffry.

I failed to mention, I'm in Oak Cliff, only a couple of miles from downtown Dallas.

Name: Eric
Age: 40 :-(
Location: Lewisville, TX
Current Project: MMO Architect
Project Phase: Currently in design/documentation

I have been in programming professionally (business applications) since 1995. I use VB (all flavors), C#, C++, and various SQL databases. In my hobby time, I'm making a base architecture that can be scripted and extended for online multiuser games.

Well, I am not quite a member of the group yet (applied last week) but here goes hoping for the best.

Name: George
Age: 43
Location: Plano
Current Project: Cubets
Project Phase: Coding Alpha Version

I have toiled as a business application programmer for about 8 years mainly using VB6 and SQL Server but in recent years have slowly moved into VB.Net and C# depending on the project.

Hey ixsis, nice to see people are still joining :). Things are going a little slowly around here, I guess it's vacation time for most of us.

I guess I could spill a little about myself while I'm here..

Current Project: Reuseable OO 2D engine
Project Phase: Disgruntled but moving along!

I guess maybe I should update myself. I now have looked at and finally somewhat understood a 3d engine. It had to be Irrlicht. It is pretty easy to use, though I don't know what happened in a month because the last time I looked, I couldn't figure it out. I don't think I read some enlightening article or anything, so I don't know. Either way, I'm going to remake my Space Battle Project with Irrlicht. I still am going to use DX for sound and input still because I don't like Irrlicht's input and the sound part doesn't exist. I'm using temporary models from 3dcafe until I make my own. I would like to take it commercial, but if I do, it will probably be a while. God, you guys must see a lot of newbs that want to go commercial. I want to, but I DO have realistic expectations. Anyway, check my website for updates and screenies and eventually downloads as it comes along. Also, welcome to the group to all the new members who posted.

PS, we need to have another meeting. It has been to long.

ixsis:
