Mason Wheeler WideOrbit
I'm a lifelong coder who's always been interested in game programming. I've been using Delphi since high school, when a friend introduced me to version 1 of "a new Visual Pascal program".
I love Delphi and I've been using it ever since. I'd like to see a greater awareness of Delphi as a game development platform, since that's the best way to attract young coders to the language.
I'm the author of the TURBU project, a development environment under construction that will allow users to create console-style RPGs with easy-to-use Delphi-style development techniques and Object Pascal-based scripting. It can be found at http://www.turbu-rpg.com.
I'm currently employed at WideOrbit, working at the Seattle office. I get to sit around and write Delphi code all day, and they pay me for it! Is this great or what? *grin*
