Who is everyone Just so we can all get an idea of who is who and who does what
Who is everyone Hi all, just wondered who everyone was and what you all do. Its good to know who everyone is. So i suppose its me that goes first because i started the thread :) I am a full time games programmer. I have a degree in mathematics and i am concentrating on focussing my studies on Artificial intelligence. For the past year i have worked on Black and White for the playstation 1. Thats it all in a nutshell. ___________ Gemini | Gemini 4 posts. Sunday 30 December, 15:23 Reply
Me I'm 16 and still attending school. Currently my spare time activities are pretty much focused on programming my graphics engine (thanks flipcode) and on doing math (for the mathematical olympiad), but I want to learn ANN programming. That could be useful later when I'm at university studying mathematics, for something like economical previews (if that is a possible application of ANNs -- I think so). Beside that, I like this site because of the interesting news and links. Great work. However, I barely have time to learn some new things related to AI, but I will check this site whenever I can.

Story of my Life ;) I'm 21. I did my undergrad CS degree in York, currently doing postgrad research in Edinburgh in the Institute of Perception Action and Behaviour. I'm trying to develop more human-like game agents, by combining different algorithms and techniques together. I used to make demos, and code graphics engines... I've been quite active over on flipCode in the past (column and tutorials about gfx) But I've been focusing on AI recently, and run the site in my spare time. I worked on Malice for quite a while too Argonaut's upcoming XBox title), doing agent based particle systems and character LOD. Good experience... Johannes, time is always the problem :P | Alex J.

Hi there Alex Hi its Tim, you remember! How is life at Edinburgh. I'm enjoying myself and I aggree with what you said about Uni in your flipcode article. Maths is a bummer, most of the CS is patronising and AI is tough and interesting. Got a Prolog test next week (monday) which isd apparently impossible. Love this site! Oh for the mrest of you My name is Tim Stirling and I am currently in first year of Edinburgh Uni studying AI with CS. I have been game programming for about a year and half but its been a bit on and off. Alex, forgotten where you are staying I'm at block 3 flat 2 Hermits croft. I told you Edinburgh is cold, made much use of those jumpers? mind you until recently it has been very mild here. Tim | Tim Stirling 2 posts. Sunday 06 January, 07:55 Reply
Hi there Tim Yeah, I remember ;) I'm now in Parkside Street, near Pollocks Halls... not to far from everything. My wholly jumpers are starting to wear down! Good luck with the Prolog :P | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Wednesday 09 January, 04:27 Reply
(no subject) "near Pollocks Halls... not to far from everything." just down the road from me then! "My wholly jumpers are starting to wear down!" I warned you, it does get cold when that north easterly picks up! "Good luck with the Prolog :P" I will need the luck!, actually it shouldn't be too hard but exam time is in 2 weeks and I am not looking forward to the maths oir A.I exam and even the CS exam is daunting. | Tim Stirling 2 posts.

About Me I'm a college student as well, however I've never had any high aspirations in school since I've taught myself so much as a kid I've developed a habit of self-sufficiency and it's really hard to go and sit in class and learn something over a period much longer than I normally take in self study. Anyways that doesn't mean I still can't and I'm getting off track so I'll shut up about that. I'm 19 and like everyone else I want to be a programmer. I've decided to focus on the AI field and I'm just starting to get back into programming, after like a year and a half off when I was writing a lot for GameDev.net and a book (Game Design Methods) and doing web design stuff. So I'm back and taking a C++ course this semester because my college didn'e get any credits from when I took the AP Comp Sci course in C++ Junior year in highschool. Darnit! But I need the refresher somewhat anyways. If you want more info, you can visit my website. I don't spend too much time on these boards yet since I haven't really started digging into AI, but once I do I'll probably be here a lot. See yas. | Gaiiden 8 posts. Saturday 19 January, 14:05 Reply
Who am I? I came across "Who's everyone" and thought may be I should be a part of it too. After all, its nice knowing the people around you. So, here I am. I am Rinku Dewri, currently pursuing my Integrated Master of Science in Mathematics and Computing at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Its been four years since I joined the institute and life's been surrounded with Maths & Computers, started of with something as simple as C and currently learning simulation. As for my programming experience, don't be surprised if I say that I have been programming for the last 15 years...ahem!! Actually I started with simple LOGO in my 5th grade, moved over to BASIC in a year, and now I am doing everything I can get my hands on....right from systems programming to web-designing. But my passion is AI, more specifically GAs and GP. I like the way simple algorithms like GAs can be used to solve so many diversified class of problems. "Simplicity breeds Complexity" is what I live by, and am looking forward to go for a Ph.D. in it ;) As fas as the other half of my life is concerned, "she" is not any artificial life form, but human flesh and real intelligence. I listen to Bryan Adams and sleep a lot. And when I have nothing to do, I visit AI-depot. That's all of me....so simple yet complex. Rinku | Rinku Dewri 17 posts. Thursday 08 August, 08:53 Reply
just a guy and his strange hobbies Well, I was looking for a place to introduce myself. Hi, I am yakumo, but for the sake of AI, my username is that of my AI program's name. I am just a simple dutch 23 year old student of building and engineering (don't ask 9_9), but ever since I one day discovered I could program, I have been working on crazy javascript programs like computer games and, the reason I am here, artificial intelligence. Although I understand other programming languages just as easily, I can't figure out how to install the c++ compiler (well, allegro actually) properly ^_^;, so I'll stick with javascript for now. I'm feeling a bit uneasy around here, since everyone else here has probably studied AI for years, and I don't even understand half of the scientific words used here ^^;; The program I am working on, just for the sake of strangeness, is to become an artificially intelligent lifeform. To create life, preferably without it ending in a fight with the local angry mob carrying torches. besides this, I mostly draw pretty girls in anime style, do 3D modeling and animation for fun, learn japanese, learn how to defuse bombs, the usual stuff. I'm strange, let's leave it at that. | arckon 14 posts. Wednesday 28 August, 06:00 Reply
