RETURNING AGAIN AGAIN

Hi all,

I've been in and out of RMN a few times in the past. Saw a post on facebook about how there's a month long make something something going on, chatted to a facebook page a bit, decided to jump back in. Want to try my hand at completing something, since that was the post that drew me in here.

Background on me. For work, I'm an engineer focusing in hardware security and lower level software, but I like taking diversions into scientific computing too. For software, my go to language is C, but I like Python and Perl as well, and I've been picking up Scala recently, mainly for hardware projects oddly enough.

For fun, I love cooking (I'm a curry addict), try to keep up running, and read a decent amount. I try to help in my community too. Church outreach to soup kitchens and I make an effort to keep integrated with places I went to school.

I've written small games before. Nothing super complex, things like pong and C, and I got a version of space invaders running once, but it was a weird dedicated hardware set up.

I'm hoping in the next month to get something like a platformer or zelda clone going good. Basically something that will force me to flex my mind a little and push me beyond what I've done before.

Any direction community wise where I should ask about the month long thing? If people have ongoing things and can integrate a programmer, i may be a good guy to pick up. If not, I'll still make something, but it may be pretty ugly.

Also, I wish I chose a different username ages ago, but whatever. It'll do

Thanks,

Just gave it a look through. I don't have rpg maker software any longer, but I'll still try to sneak something out!
