Hi there! I'm a college student in computer science in Quebec, Canada. I plan on going to university after that, and I'll probably end up working into game development, although I am not 100% sure yet.

I do game development in my spare time, as well as experience with other computer science domains every once in a while for the fun of it.

Here are the languages/technologies that I mainly use/know:

  • C++

    • DirectX
    • ClanLib
  • C#

    • XNA
    • WPF/Winforms
  • Javascript

  • Flash (to my dearest regret)

When I'm not programming or at school, I end up doing one of these:

  • Guitar / listen to music
  • Run / badminton
  • Game (Starcraft2, League of Legends, Minecraft, Killing Floor, ...)
  • Read about Math / Science
  • Program a bit more
  • Hang out with friends

That's pretty much all there is to say, really.

If you have some time to kill, you can always take a look at my blog.

If you read up to this point: sir, have a very nice day. You are awesome. Here, take an Internet.

@user30869 Feel free to come here for anything else game-related though! We love to help, although we just want the questions to go to the according site. :) Stackoverflow is a fantastic resource with incredibly fast feedback for anything about general programming.

comment Basic Python Question, Working with Function and List
This would be better suited on stackoverflow.com, as it is not really related to game development.

comment Efficient way of detecting a touched object in a game?
@Miro: Indeed, but I must admit I do not have a lot of experience with Java. If it had been C++ I would have recommended a profiler and explained the basics, but I'm not of much help here. Feel free to recommend profilers that you know! I just wanted to recommend avoiding pre-optimization.
