"He who hopes to learn the fine art of the game from books will soon learn that only the opening and closing moves of the game admit of exhaustive systematic description; and that the endless variety of moves which develop from the opening defies description; the gap left in the instructions can only be filled in by the zealous study of games fought out by master hands." E.M.Avedon, The Study of Games

Game Portfolio goes live

posted by Murphyslaw rss icon

Finally I got myself in motion to create this portfolio webpage for my upcoming games. My goal is to clone classical computer games such as tetris, pong, frogger, space invaders, snake, pacman, android and bomberman to better learn computer game programming. I also want to deal with game design and maybe give some insights on the problems I faced producing those games. The quote on top of this page is out of the book Rules of Play by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman which will accompany me on my journey.

A great course of game programming at the Technische Universität Berlin, my own previous attempts to create games and my long interest in computer games in general will now hopefully pour into this webpage and the games I want to program.

I'll try to update the news frequently and will publish my code under a free license that I didn't decideon yet. Maybe some others can use it for their own beginnings or find it useful in any way.

If you have any suggestions, criticism or anything else you want to tell me, then do not hesitate and contact me right away. I should also be addressable over facebook, twitter or xing.

Alright, enough talk for now!
