Final 2D Rendering
Via any non-hardware means available within C# and API.
Map Editor
I tried to make map creation as rapid and intuitive as possible for this editor. This was not easy but I'm happy with the current build.
Game Concept
The story behind the game, plot, content and so on.
Project Coordination
Keeping everyone on track.
Biography:
1980 - Birth, accompanied by earthquakes, tornadoes and financial depression, sorry.
1988 - writes a simple mouse accelerator for the Atari ST in ASM (then forgets about ASM for 16 years )
1989 - starts writing FirST Basic utils
1992 - First usable app (an addressbook prog, published in code form in a few local home-brew 'zines)
1993 to 1998 - forgets about programming, too much school work
1999 - finds a copy of VB4 on the server at work. Programming spark re-kindled
2000 to 2003 - VB6 coding, large and small projects: everything from GTA clones to Minimum Spanning Tree solvers. Pwns a 30 week VB6 class in 6 weeks (would have been quicker if the test papers had been available)
2004 to present....Net Framework
July 2005 - DoomSharp(); begins after a PM convo with my esteemed pal NoteMe.
Languages:
VB4, 6 - 5 years
VB.Net - 2 years
Misc C variants, C++/C# - 3 years

World to screen coordinates
Map 2D map coordinates to 3D, then back to 2D screen coordinates.
Camera and movement
The camera is close related to the world to screen transform. The game has a buildt in FPS camera, that will move by using keyboard and mouse.
Culling
The game uses a costum culling method that inherits many properties from a quad tree. This algorithm is very fast, but will cost us more memory.
General math
There is a lot of complex math behind a 3D engine. I am responsible for all math behind FOV, Collision, Coordinates and so on.
Biography:
1995 - Finnishes a one year Office course in 3 months. Teacher introduces me to VB3 to keep me occupied.
1997 - Writes my first game. A basic basic basic WarCraft 1 clone.
1999 - DX7 is comming out, and makes it easier to write hardware accelerated games for VB. Many new demos comes out this year.
2002 - Becomes a Java teacher for freshers at my University/College.
2003 - Becomes a Algorithms teacher for freshers at my University/College.
2005 - Becomming a mod in the Java/Game and Graphics/Other langugages sections here at VBF.

Criticism (mostly negative) the thing I'm best at
Dropping annoying comments on things that could have been done better.
Emotional support
Listening to note crying over math problems over msn late at night.
Some help with obscure math problems and hints on clipping and perspectival rendering and perhaps collision detection on near future
Note being able to commit myself too much to this game, but you hear me yelling at you guys once in a while.
Biography:
1980 - Birth.
1980-2004 - None of your business
2005 - Being a heavy burden in Doomsharp
Languages:
VB - 10+ years
C/C++ - 5 years
ASM - once in a while
Prolog - <3
Haskell - <3 <3
Befunge93 - that language kicks my llamas arse
Lots of other languages I can't bother to list
Java - Die!
Weapon of choice:
Squirrel
Use
writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
Intro Screen
Graphics and Animation for the intro screen.
GUI/HUD
Any graphics needed for the HUD.
Extra Help
Anything else I can do to help out.
Biography:
1990 - Birth
1998 - Started Programming using Visual Basic
1999 - First completed app (small RPG style game)
2000 - Built my first computer.
2002 - Started using Macromedia Fireworks and Photoshop. Sign up at VBForums
2004 - Started a home server running PHP and MySQL. Started programming with HTML and PHP, and put all my experiences of programming and graphics design to create my first completed website (UltimatePc, Which is still a work in progress). Changed my username to ...:::ONE:::.... Made up my mind on a graphics designing career. Built a "super" computer (P4 3.0GHZ HT, 1024 MB RAM, 6800 GT, 80 GIGS, $2100).
2005 - 2006 - Continued to be an amateur Visual Basic 6 programmer. Met a friend who went to Japan to advertise for his company (Jeff, works for an advance vehicle modification company, wossname should know what I'm talking about.). Discovered DoomSharp(); . Planning to attend Case Western Reserve, to a career in Graphics design, or Astronomical Physics... lol, two completely different, but both trigger my interests.
