I first started programming at 12yrs old when I got on my dad's old HP48G calculator. After mastering the ancient art of RPN programming ;) I moved on to Java by reading my dad's Java 6 book when I was about 14 yrs old. That peaked my interest until about 16 yrs old, then I didn't program for a while bcs of lack of inspiration. at about 17 I came across a neat little project called Minetest, a game that was inspired by Infiniminer. I played and later contributed to that for about a year. Now I'm working on a similar project called Qub3d, it aims to provide a valid, open source, voxel game engine alternative to Minecraft.
