Hi there
Wanted to introduce myself before doing anything else
For starters, I've been acquainted with programming for a long time. I started out with Pascal when I was around 11, making some simple DOS programs, and then, later on, moved to Java when I was in upper elementary school (around 14 years of age then). I've tried many programming languages since, but Java has still stuck to its guns with me (even now when I am 17). I also like maths, bicycling, and playing LBP 2 (making all sorts of clattering contraptions and gadgets there
).
I'd rank myself as something between beginner and intermediate in Java. I've done lots of small scripting in Java (file sorting, math statistics, automatic link generation, etcetc), and I have mucked with some.. ahem. unofficial MMORPG servers (teaching people to code security-minded.. by demonstration
- also learned something about networking, threading, and server design).
Until recently, I did not know of a community where I could learn more about Java, especially about game programming, which has always been a bit of a mystery for me.. I think I would probably enjoy that as a hobby, and because of that, I thought I could join here to learn more, and participate in the community.
Thanks
