Introduction

edit

Hello, welcome to my place at Wikipedia! I go by the alias Needles-Kane, although I am nothing like my fictional counter-part. I joined Wikipedia as of December 2006, after being a regular guest for a year or two. It's a great relief to finally be a part of such a fantastic project, and I hope my participation will be entirely positive; both for myself and Wikipedia.

About Me

edit

I'm 19 years old, and currently study ND-Computing at the City of Bristol college in England. I have a strong interest in computing, especially programming and game development. As far as programming is concerned I study Visual Basic 6 formally, and hope to acquire skills in both C and Java. I've also used XHTML, SQL, PHP, ActionScript, and JavaScript in the past, but my knowledge of these languages is fairly limited.

My main interest is level-design, which takes up a large portion of my free time. I work almost exclusively in Valve's Source engine, and hope to eventually produce a single player Half-Life 2 modification, most likely with the help of others. Hopefully I'll be able to create simple 3D models by then, which I can use as props.

I guess the last thing to say is that I love writing. For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of developing a mod is writing a story; knowing someone will interact with it and explore it, and experience my creation first hand. Currently I have two stories which are designed to be future modifications. I want to develop at least one of them into something I can release. Anyone who's interested in something like this is welcome to contact me about it, particularly if you some technical skill.
