Hello Everyone,

I am, obviously, new to CodeCall, so I would like to take a minute and do the usual introduction thread. Computers and technology have always held a warm place in my heart since our first introduction, back with the Atari and NES game consoles. Gaming has been a strong motivation in my curiosity concerning the way code comes together and makes something useful or worthwhile. I have always been enthralled by a well structured game, and my first taste of programming was INI file editing for Command and Conquer: Red Alert, however at the time I did not realize I was recoding the game, just thought I found a new method of cheat codes.

Attended a community technical college for about a year in pursuit of a programming degree, but due to personal issues with my now ex-wife, I never completed that degree. Its been about four years since I was in college, and its taken about that long to pull myself back together. Now I want to run after my dreams again, which in a nutshell is to design and code games and virtual environments.

Honestly I am no experienced master of programming, but I am trying to get to that level. Right now I am working with Python just about exclusively, and hoping to learn as much as I can from where ever I can. Your lovely community stuck out to me as a place that I might be able to become a contributing part of, as well as grow a bit myself.

All this said, I look forward to exchanging ideas with you all in the future.
