I've been coding for a while now. I lost interest when I was much younger and then got back into it about a few years later. A Half-Life 2 source mod,
GarrysMod
, that allowed players to code Lua scripts for it and release them at
FacePunchStudios Forums
probably inspired me to start coding again. After a year or two of GarrysMod Lua, I started learning C++. I understood the language very easily as I could reference stuff that I learned from Lua to C++. I do enjoy playing online games like Counter-Strike and GarrysMod so you might see me in a server once in a while. My C++ programs are now compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. Older programs were compiled either by using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, or Bloodshed Dev-C++.
