About me

I've been programming games off and on since the early 1980s, and playing them since the late 1970s. Currently my tool of choice is Flash 10. When I am not here I can be found on GameDev.net (as "Tesseract"). I have been programming in Flash since about 2002, and try to help others with technical questions as often as I can.

Mikal	Feb. 03, 2009 I have left a comment on your tutorial. Sorry, but I only have been trying to program with a glitchy computer for a month now… Hopefully I will get it soon ;D

dogmatixed	Jan. 13, 2009 I’ve been looking at your website; it’s very cool. I realize you’re mostly doing stuff with Perlin noise at this moment, but had you thought of trying Langton’s ants where the terrain contour is determined by the blurry trails they leave? That’s where my train of thought goes.

Tower Attack.	Sep. 19, 2009 Don't post games until they are done. If you still need tips, then the game isn't ready for release.
Perlin Texture Tutorial	Sep. 11, 2009 Hi diggoran. I made the last image look like a map on purpose. Something I am keeping in the back of my head in case I ever try making an RPG.
