creator of the CTruck3D vehicle simulator series. homepage: www.simonhasurgaming.altervista.org

I started programming games as an autodydact in Matlab/Octave and C. When I was child I came around the hungarian classic Terep2 [1996], a realistic car simualtor developed by a normal guy. I liked the game very much, and as soon as I had the possibility I decided that I do a remake of it and put into it all those features which I judge important for an offroad driving simulator. Although I had alway been a disaster in math and physics, at some point something happened: I lerned the Relativity and suddently my ideas about classical dynamics became clear, and  doing the game I discovered that the previous disasters were because these subjects were taught badly. So I bacame an autodydact, and I taught myself with little professional help programming C (from the R&K book) and game physics from Chris Hecker's articles, gathering additional detalies from here and there. I then started going seriously into Linux, and discovered how gameprogramming and any C programming was easy in that enviroment... I read a bit the Operating Systems book by Tanenbaum, and tried MINIX 2 and 3.1.9 . I bacame an enhusiast of MINIX 3 operating system and games written without openGL also, and ascii-art games. I made also an ascii-art and a wireframe graphics version of CTruck3D writing whe whole graphics procedures from zero: it was so cool, and these versions run on all systems requiring no external libraries.    

After I was finally able to finish highschool, I went on studying physics professionally at university and had no probelms! never will forgive those who tried to discourage me from doing physics at university. I like physics and it goes very well, and that's my principal occupation: but I don't ever want to abandon game programming :) .

    the game itself is well-made, did you you use partial derivatives? It has all what is needed for a graphics program. Technically the game is cool, but about the content i do not exhibit comments.

    i mean this prosopamnesia ins not sustained by any sicientific theory, therefore it cannot be proven or confuted experimentllay. If you can remember a procedure, you can use a face-comparison procedure... it's totally generic. Neurology should be limited to performing operations for rehabiliting hands, legs, re-joining nervs, etc. Sciencefiction should be left to Hollywood.

    Oh that's fine. I am doing electrical engineering and IT (which is information technology).

    I study Engineering and IT. :) I'm just leaving a shout on your profile, so I don't think I'm doing any different than you. ;P
