Chit-Chat / I'm Two Pi
« on: June 01, 2011, 07:31:02 am »
Hello. I'm Two Pi (twopi.) I've been involved in computer programming and gaming since the early days (The first computer game I played was on a teletype terminal on some sort of DEC in 1976.) I teach Computer Science and Game Development, and I've written a few books on game programming and web programming (including Flash Game Programming for Dummies.)
I've taught extensively with Scratch as well as more traditional languages like Python, Java, and C++, and I'm interested in seeing how Stencyl fits into the mix. I think it might be a good tool to get people building games, and will lead to more traditional programming. That's a good thing.
I mainly use Linux, so I'll be interested to see how well all this works on the Linux platform.
