Hey Everyone,

Just popping in to say hello. I was browsing around and noticed that I still had an active TGC account.

Just wanted to say how much Dark Basic helped be when I was younger. I now have my own company with about 5,000,000 game downloads. It's been a pretty amazing journey.

Dark Basic helped me learn and understand 3D math which helped me become a better programmer in the future.

I now mainly work on cross-platform mobile games written in C++/Lua and work with DirectX/OpenGL. It's pretty amusing to see that I had this account active for 11 years, quite a lot has changed since then.

Glad to see that the forum hasn't changed at all since then, quite a lot of nostalgia here Glad to see some familiar names as well.

Yep I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for TGC!

For me it started with Lego (the bricks), then DarkBASIC Pro, then C++ and then onto everything else.

I think Lego was when I first started problem solving and developing those sort of skills.
