Hi, I'm Ian, also known as ChromeWing on social media.
When I was young, I always had a fascination for video games. I first started playing Frogger, Croc, and web games. Eventually I played console games and MMORPGs. I also enjoyed making abstract strategy board games when I was a kid.
One day, I stumbled upon a 2D physics sandbox called Phun (now called Algodoo). I would make many different creations. I started making games in the sandbox and learned about its scripting language called Thyme. I enjoyed the coding and eventually learned I could make my very own games using GameMaker. I made many prototypes, some of which became bigger prototypes that could be played with winning conditions.
In college, I successfully programmed a hand coded networked game for my signature sidescrolling shooter, "ChromeWing" (named after my username). I also learned about Processing, a visual graphics engine powered by Java. Since then, I've learned about Java, C#, JavaScript, various web-based languages, as well as others. My current goal is to program for a game studio someday!
