Other languages / Introductions and Greetings
« on: January 06, 2014 »
Firstly my respect to the mods and admins of this forum, thank you for your efforts. Salutations to all. Currently I am a point of sale software/hardware technician. I hail from South Africa and I'm proud of my country, I know recently our nation has been in the spotlight since the passing of our Madiba and in his words, "...we are a nation full of potential..." it is my hope to someday teach under privileged kids the joys of programming and building things with their imaginations. For a child who can barely survive through the day, to put a pixel on the screen and make it move 10 steps then right... And eventually spell out initials, is an awesome sense of achievement to them.
I have always been fascinated by demos. My first introduction was in the early 90's, I remember names like future crew, razor911, asphyxia(who is also South African, I wonder where he is?) it was amazing to see the visuals, the story, the journey, the music, it was a total out of this world experience for a nerdy teen. Obviously I started to ask, how was that done.
I alta vistaD? Read some tutorials, tried assembly coding but ultimately gave up. Due to some hectic recent events I am making a serious attempt into getting into programming. I want to start with demo coding for android, hopefully I chose the correct sub forum, forgive me if I did not, I'm also a newbie to forums. I Have not come across any documentation or tutorials for demo coding for android, help in this regard will be highly appreciated but I am looking into a game development engine called libgdx
I also understand and respect that this is an art and takes years to master, I am prepared, disciplined and focused to make that journey. I look forward to being part of this community and sharing my adventures or misadventures.
