Introduction Desttinghim
Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2016 17:48
Hello! I'm Louis, also known as Desttinghim on the web. I have just stumbled onto this site and I am pretty excited about the whole concept! I would like to join the development team primarily as a coder, but also as a writer and game designer. I already sent this message through the contact form, but I figured I should post it here as well.
Some background on me: I have had an interest in making games for a long time. This led to me learning how to program. I started around the time I was in fifth grade, and I am now a first year college student. I have lived all over the United States, and I am currently attending school in Idaho, though I'll be back and forth between here and Wisconsin between school semesters. Now, I played Magic ultra casually in high school because pretty much everyone else in my school did (this was a seriously nerdy school). I was never too good at it, mostly because I never bought anything more than one starter pack. Now that I'm in college, I've begun to play Magic more because of my roommate who has a bunch of decks. He doesn't play competitively but he does make some cool legacy decks. After seeing some of the cool stuff he had made, I decided to design my own deck. After I did that, I decided to play test it using a Magic simulator called forge. Then I became interested in programming something similar, and designing my own CCG, and that finally led me to find this site.
At this moment, I'm most interested in programming a simulator that enforces the rules and has an AI, but I understand that's not the current focus. I should be able to do pretty much any programming task with due time. I know many programming languages, but Haxe is my specialty. C/C++ and Javascript come after that. I'm also interested in play-testing, though I'm not sure my input would be terribly helpful. I could also help with writing and editing.
So that's me. I'm excited to see where this project goes, and hopefully I can be a part of it! And thank you to everyone who's made it through my scattered writing up to this point!
