Im living in Steinach. Its a very small town ca. 100 kms away
from Freiburg(Black Forest).
I started coding with about 14 years with Qbasic and with 17 C++.

Right after I learnt C++ I startet with OpenGl and later with Irrlicht.

Name: Tiago Rezende
Age: 22
Location: Petrópolis - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Occupation: Studying/doing Graphic Design
Hobbies: Singing/Guitar playing in a rock band, game programming
Languages (in learning order): QBasic, HTML, Pascal, C, x86/asm, Javascript, Lingo (Macromedia), Visual Basic, Object Pascal (Delphi), Java, C++, 68k/asm, Objective-C, Smalltalk, Self, Lua, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Forth, io

I'm in the 4th year of Graphic Design at university, doing some scholarship projects including or related to computer games. I've been programming since 13, when I learned QB, I even remember the first game I made, which involved a man in a spiderman suit with inverted colors which swung (weirdly, didn't care about pendular motion) across the screen with increased speed trying to catch jewels on the ground with another rope, this game has been sadly lost in a HD crash . Since then I've been devouring documentation and tutorials about most everything related to computing, and after getting deceptioned at IT grad courses here (c'mon, no game-related classes?) I've chosen another of my passions, which turned out quite related to game-making: Graphic Design.

Greetings!

Age: 28 (ooohh!)
Location: Latvia, Riga
Languages: C#, Java, C++, Perl

Started programming at age ~14 and never quit. I have been
working as Unix sysadmin, developer at several
telecommunications companies and now I work for a bank.

But I have never been into game development business and after
discovering Irrlicht I am really hooked!!! I am very new to game
development, but I am learning. There are no game factories
where I live (at least I have not found one) and may be some
day I will create one!

Good luck and spread a good word about Irrlicht!!!

nice weekend all ya

[KittenGamer]

Okay, languages known: ASM since age 10 with the old Apple ][e, age 13 got into C and QBasic, got into Euphoria for a short time when I was 20, now 31 and pretty much a computer nerd. I play very little games but design a lot of them though nothing published just for fun.

That's all there is to me really, I exist online mostly now.

Name: Nigel Atkinson
Age: 29
Location: New Zealand
Languages: C/C++, VBA, Lua, SQR

Started with GW-BASIC a very long time ago, then was given a System 80 to play with, which had a built in tape drive! Lernt ASM on that, then moved to C and ASM on the familys first computer, a 386SX with 1M ram! Later updraded to 2M and could now play Doom (orig). Few books later I had C++ sussed.

Churned out my first game on GW-BASIC and remade it a long time later using DJGPP and Allegro. 32bit! no more far and near!

Now I help run a control system on top of unix that keeps a fair number of the countres hydro generation under control.

Interests/Hobbies: Game Development, Drums, and Piano
occupation: student, (highschool + Linear Algebra, and CS2 at university)

I started programming when i was 11-12 in QBasic, then picked up DBPro soon after, and C++... i've started using irrlicht because i wanted to use C++ to make games instead of DBPro, and this looked like the best free engine to use

(and you'll probably be seeing a screenshot of the begining stages of my project in.. oh... 6 months to a year )

[Fallenblood]

I'm from Bulgaria, and I'm a 13-year old boy. I've always been using an old computer (386 in 2000, P200 in 2003, a Cel333 now, but I'm hoping to get a new powerful one soon), and I've been interested in programming even before I had a PC, as someone let a bunch of Pravetz-82 (Bulgarian Apple2 clone) programming books fall into my hands. I program in QBasic, Pascal and JS, and I'm currently learning C/C++.

In my free time I draw, play the guitar, write poems and stories.

I started programming at age ~14 to "check" my maths homework. Continued programming as a hobby until i found my first job as Web/Database developer.
Looking forward to get in to the gameindustry soon, but its quite difficult in austria.

Age: 33
Occpuation: Assistant Professor of Computer Science
Location: North Carolina
Languages: C/C++ long ago (pre-namespace, pre-template), Java, whatever else needs doing
Why Irrlicht: I want to play around with a game engine over the summer, and one of my colleagues used Irrlicht to teach a game course and recommended it. I used to know the author of WildMagic, and like its design better, but Irrlicht has some features that I don't want to bother reimplementing just to prototype.
Why not Irrlicht: I'd forgotten how annoying MSVC 6.0 is, and have to wait until next week to see if 8.0 is any better.
Current goals: better terrain algorithms, heavy-duty culling (which is, of course, at odds with the Irrlicht philosophy)

Yeah... I'm pretty much like the rest of the folks around here. Started programming when I was 10. First used BASIC, then Pascal, then Python, then PHP, then VB.NET, and now I'm on C++... ugh. Truthfully, I hate it. But I'm willing to learn becuase I like Irrlicht so much.
