user dreadpiratepeter Born a penniless orphan, Pete's fortunes began to change with the appearance of a mysterious benefactor. After spending time with a creepy old woman in a wedding dress he set out to make his way in the world. <br> Ok, so that's Pip's bio not mine. <br><br> Born a middle class suburbanite, Pete's fortunes began to change with the appearance of the first edition Camel Book. In that fateful year, 1991, he pulled himself from the morass of C and C++, finding true joy at last with the Champaigne of programming languages. <br><br> Actualy my coding career began the day I saw Adventure on a PDP-11. I went to the "computer room" in my school and began to learn coding in Basic on an HP paper terminal connected to a mainframe with the latest technology- the cup modem. <br><br>From there, my quest to write my game led me through Apple IIs, Pascal, C, and C++. From if to roguelikes. <br>MY latest incarnation is <a href='http://tapestrygames.org'>Tapestry<a/>, a roguelike in progress written in Perl. <br>Unfortunately, work has kept me from the game for the last 2 months. <!-- Location:latitude=040.49.36,longitude=-074.09.19--> <!-- birthday:1966/07/18--> <!--os:anything that runs perl--> 2012-04-04 16:14:33 4915 358957 images/userincoming/dreadpiratepeter.jpeg 314 America/New_York 90 on
