This will be my first time entering this competition, some friends of mine are doing it for the first time as well and they suggested that I joined in with them. Since its the University holidays down here in NZ, I figured why not? Unfortunately its been a while since I did any gaming, so I’ve had to have been doing some practice to get myself into gear. Been using openGL through SDL to use 3D graphics to render 2D, and it seems to be the smoothest looking game I’ve written ever so far. So this could be promising, hopefully I’ll be able to apply this knowledge to make a kickass game for the competition (but like many other people, I shall make no promises of quality).

bit about me: My name’s Michael, I’m in my second professional year (third year) of computer engineering at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Although I consider myself to be quite good at programming, I don’t spend that much spare time on it. Instead I game a ridiculous amount of time.
