1) I'm a full-time student at Göttingen university. (Majoring in English Literature and Fenno-Ugric languages...)

2) I don't, but whenever I visit my parents, I take care of their dog, who loves me with a vengeance.

3) Nope. I'm an only child; introverted and very imaginative.

4) See my answer to point 1: I deliberately chose subjects that bear little or no connection to economy, because the economization of our society bugs me to no end, and I don't want to be a wheel in the machine.

5) My dream? Becoming a great novelist. Raising a family. Avoiding the pitfalls of consumerist society.

6) No, I'm not married, at least not officially: My beloved and I live, think and act like a (happily) married couple, and are looking forward to a shared future, but haven't taken the legal steps to make it official, yet. (Primarily to help our parents, because they receive "child money" from the German state, but also because we haven't found a good place and way to celebrate it, yet.)

1) If you have a Job.

Fortunately, yes. It's difficult to find a job in Sweden -- the unemployment rate is very high. When I moved to Sweden (from America) I managed to find an unpaid internship, which I worked in for about a year. Then I was hired.

2) If you have Pets.

No, I'm living with someone allergic to pet fur. When my wife and I move somewhere else, we will probably get a kitten or two.

3) If you have Brothers and sisters.

Yes, I have a brother. He lives in Hawaii.

No sisters.

4) What are you studying.

I'm not taking classes at any college. However, I'm studying .NET architecture, for my computer programming career. Philosophy, as a hobby. The Swedish language and getting a Swedish driver's licence, as a necessity.

5) What is your Dream.

I'm living my Dream. I moved to Sweden to be with my Swedish sweetheart, I got married to her, and I found an exciting job in my computer programming career.

If there is something I would add to this, it is to start a chapter of the Fellowship of Reason here in Sweden.

6) Are you Married and do you have kids.

I am married, and I don't have kids, by intent.

eudaimonia,

M.

Vermithrax · May 11, 2006

1) If you have a Job?

Yes. I am a Systems Engineer and Integrator.

2) If you have Pets?

No.

3) If you have Brothers and sisters?

I have one brother, married, two kids, living in Poland.

4) What are you studying?

I'm not a student, but I'm currently reading Warrior to Dreadnought by D.K Brown, about warship development from 1860 to 1905.

5) What is your Dream?

For my fiancee and I to get married and have children. Rather awkward. I'm English, living in Tucson, Arizona. She's Cantonese living in Hong Kong.

6) Are you Married and do you have kids?

No. But see previous answer.

7) What is your religion?

Seems relevant given the forum. I have no religion, I am an atheist. My fiancee is non-religious, but once a year she does visit the temple of the guardian deity Che Kung in Sha Tin to burn incense. We've been together, and it was very interesting, and surprisingly emotional.

That's a great dream.

I do a little game programming at home in C# and .NET for fun. I'm recreating SirTech's "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord". I have the dungeon drawing algorithm done, and I can move around in the dungeon much like in the game, although I haven't created the PCs, NPCs, and items yet, but that's next.

After I do this, I will improve upon the original game using classes designed with game ontology in mind, and I will simulate the AI language Prolog in C# to add an AI aspect to the game.

Oh, and I'm also creating a game that recreates a medieval Tarot card game.

I am terrible at creating visual art on computers, and so I would ask my wife to do those, if she has the time and inclination.

Otherwise, I "borrow" graphics where I can find them online. I do not intend to ever sell my games, though. They are just for my personal amusement. So it's okay.

However, I do have a software package called "Universe" (by Diard) that makes some nifty fractal images of planets, stars, galaxies, etc, which I may use without any copyright infringement to make graphics. I will use it for an SF game I have in mind. That game could be legally sold, if I wanted.

nice. I will try to look for it (Universe).
And if you do intend on selling it, try to advertise it here as well.

heh, it seems like everyone is a programmer/gamer on here.

I know C# but not .Net. I dont even know how to build graphics.
I am an expert when it comes to java.
I have made one hell of a chat room and got accussed by my teacher of stealing it from a website. Lol.
I have mode the Othelo and Chess online games.
I started to make a poll game like in yahoo but in the middle of it realized its just to big. I left it for now.
I am building a html and css editor.
The editors on the mark are just so useless.

I wish I had time for studying how to create games.
Can you give me any links on how to start in this field ?
You know a direction.

You are having all the fun while I am still struggling with linux.
Not fair. Lol.

You mainly use linux?

edit:

There is also this place: http://www.gametutorials.com/

But, if you want to go there, it would have been helpful if you had started 2 years ago, because their tutorials where free (they were good quality too, great explanations -- one of the guy's motto was to talk to you as if you were 4 years old). Now they charge for the downloads.

It's not a question of not having the right software (I have Photoshop, and I know how to use it); it's a question of not having artistic talent enough to satisfy me. My only artistic talent seems to be for creative writing, which does come in handy for creating games.

Java is an excellent language for games, from what I can tell.

Yes, I'll do that soon.

Sorry to go off OP, but the 'child money' is that to encourage German woman to breed more? Is it racist or does it also allow for the immigrants to have more children. I read maybe three years ago that the Germans were getting anxious because there country was getting taking over by the Turks, so the government had to put steps into place for German women to have more children. But I just wonder how they implemented this, or do Turkish women, citizen of Germany are they also entitled?
