I wrote little snippets of code here and there... I came up with an idea for a game, I then came up with a similar game which was less ambitious. Then other things came up and my Yaroze work ( or should I call it play ) ground to a halt. Its been at this state for probably at least 6 months. I have been reading about the new Playstation ( which sounds pretty damm good ). I also noticed the Official mag was no longer doing a Yaroze game of the month and I thought the whole Yaroze thing was on its last legs. Well... tonight I popped into the web site and found very little had changed for quite a few months and this didn't surprise me. I thought I'd take a peek at the newsgroups. I must say I honestly thought I wouldn't see any signs of life... I was expecting to hear just a feint gush of wind, bell's tolling in the background and a tumbleweed to roll past my eyes. I must admit I feel very excited to see so much activity !. I dont have much spare time but I feel like digging out the manuals and rekindling the old memory cells tonight ! I've been wading though some of the messages and I thought I'd pop a message out to all you people to let you know I'm here. I may be quiet ( on fact my online handle for chat rooms is QuietBloke.. or QuietBlk on IRC... why does IRC only allow 8 character handles ?... you'd think it was designed and written on a DOS platform ! ) but I am here. Anyway.. here are my vital statistics. Hopefuly you will get to hear from me more from now on. Long live the Yaroze ! Until a sucessor to the throne is made available are you listening Sony ? ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: John Wojcik Age: 31 Occupation: Analyst/Programmer ( this is on Mainframes and PC's ) Length of time owning Yaroze: Probably about a year now Any useful utlities you have written or complete games: Nothing useful to anyone else ( just useful for me to learn to use the libraries ) and to remember how to code in C.
