Background
I've been coding ever since I was given a ZX81 back in 1982. I've used Sinclairs, BBCs, Commodore AMIGAs and finally IBM PCs. Over the years I've tinkered with Sinclair BASIC, AMOS, DevPac C, QBasic, C/C++, VB, C#, ASP.Net, Perl, Java, Python and some others that I dont't remember.
I love coding graphical stuff and after discovering the joys of Mode 13h shortly after starting coding on the PC, I've never looked back.
DOS graphics gave way to DirectX and I converted to OpenGL in 2002. I'm currently trying to get to grips with the new ways of doing things in the newer versions OpenGL.
I took over running GPWiki late in 2010 when Ryan's commitments meant that he couldn't give the site the time it needed.
Projects
AMBER - An OpenGL Battletech environment.
CBFG - A bitmap font generator.
glSandbox - A tool for playing with OpenGL blending and alpha functions.
Lots of little tools and toys which will probably never see the light of day.
Current Languages
C & C++
Visual Basic
A bit of Java, mainly for Android.
PHP (Handy for hacking the board and Wiki to stop spammers.)
