Hi! I'm a nerdy person who loves C++ a little too much for their own good.
Programming languages I know
| 2014 | Python | The first real programming language I ever learned. I used CodingBat to practice, and didn't do anything complex with it until 2016 when I made a voice-activated computer assistant. |
| 2014 | HTML5/CSS3 | It may not be a programming language but it's important enough to note. I was wholly self-taught. Web development interested me, but it was never something I wanted to focus a career on. I used that knowledge to make this website and a website for a school club. |
| ???? | JavaScript | JavaScript slowly leaked into my head over time. I can't recall a specific time I was actively learning it, but I can use it well now. |
| 2017 | Java | I maintain that this is objectively not a good language, but the JVM backing it is good software. This was the first language I learned that used braces and semicolons and ignored indentation, so it was a rude awakening to "real languages" different from Python. |
| 2019 | GDScript | GDScript is the custom scripting solution for the Godot Game Engine, which I began using in 2019. It is similar to Python, but with more game dev-specific syntax and native types. Godot is a game engine that I have used for a long time (without any finished games to show for it). |
| 2021 | C# | It's Java but if Microsoft forked it and implemented boatloads of nice stuff. Pretty fun language! |
| 2021 | C++ | I delayed learning this language because I feared it would be difficult. It was, but it was also very liberating and enjoyable to use. Still my favorite language. |
| 2021 | C | I prefer C++. |
| 2022 | TypeScript | Much nicer than plain JavaScript. I find it funny how people initially liked dynamic typing, and then projects to add static typing back into dynamically typed languages became popular as time went on. |
| 2022 | ARM Assembly | Can I say I'm proficient in writing assembly? No, but I do know what compiled languages compile into and how to read assembly. |
| 2023 | Rust | Rust is fast on its way to becoming my favorite language. Macros, enums, traits, very cool stuff! The package system is leagues ahead of what I put up with with C++. |
Listed below are some projects that I work on, or have worked on in the past. Besides some projects that are currently unlisted, I work on Portal 2: Community Edition, SourcePP, and VPKEdit on a daily basis. Most other projects are either in maintenance mode or considered complete.
The subheading lists when I began working on a project, it doesn't mean I didn't continue working on it later (which is the case for several projects!)
