Some random practice

Well I believe many of you saw me post a great many things around the forums. Most of them questions on math, or a few syntax errors I could not understand, but still posts nonetheless.

I have been interested in game design since I was eight, but the earlier the better was what I was always told! That was the time when I learned basic command-line C++.

I forget when I started wanting to do it as a hobby, but I have not learned about Torque until almost 2 years later. I got a MacBook for christmas when I was 8, and I found a game pre-installed on it. Apparently Apple put Marble Blast Gold on the OS disk, and when I found it, I started playing. And through that game, I found GarageGames. After looking through the site, I downloaded a 30 day demo of TGB 1.1.1 and got started on some of the tutorials. A couple of shooters, a platformer, and even a (failed) attempt at an RPG. I thought I was starting to know everything I could about game design that first month.

I was wrong, but I did learn a great deal over those past 4 years. My father bought me the non-demo version of TGB, and TGE 1.5, and I created a few small games.

I've continued practicing development for a couple of years. It's been interesting, so here is my next venture I've been trying to go for.

Very basic game, not very big. The object of the game is to shoot the other castle before you get hit yourself. Not too difficult, but I have been taking a bit more of a look into the design aspect rather than the programming aspect. It's been pretty exciting.

EDIT: Since I've been emailed a few times - No, this is not going to be an actual game for others to play. Trust me, it's too boring for anyone to even want to play.
