Basic biography
I'm a self-taught game programmer who lives in Colombia. I've made Cyber Parques, a computer version of a game called Parques, which can be found in this page. I've also made a pack of 4 word games called Cyber Letrix. I have made a pack of Tetris-like games called Cyber Puzzle. I have also programmed a shoot'em up multiplayer game called Cyber Bichos (with graphics pre-rendered in 3D). I have made several databases: one financial database and a movie store program.

As you can see, my favorite programming subject is videogames. I program my games in Windows with Visual C++ and DirectX. I also have made games for Linux with C++ and SDL.

I like programming a lot. I mostly program in C, but I also know QBasic, VB, Java, J#, C++, Delphi. I was born in 1980.

Contests
In 1995 I won a game olympiad made by the Colombian World of Nintendo. The final games were Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct.

I won an orthography contest in 1996 made by "El Tiempo" newspaper and "El Círculo de Lectores". The prize was a computer and so I started programming.

Literature and Beliefs
Besides reading, I like to write tales too. I have sent 2 tales for a contest and I was in second place. I am currently writing a futurist tale. I also have written a 90 page short novel for another contest, the results have not come yet. All of my tales are written in the genre of science fiction. My last one treats science fiction, esoterism (not so New Age, just telepathy and mind self-control) and crime. So, I am no New Age believer, I strongly believe in scientific paradigm. I believe in whatever that can be proved. Anyway, I believe in God but I do not practice any religion thoroughly.

Hobbies
I like videogames, astronomy, psychology, reading, science fiction, and science: Biology, Psychology, Astronomy.

I almost like every type of videogame ever made: jump and run, fighting, puzzle, shoot'em up, role (only Zelda)

I am learning to play the piano. I have a Yamaha keyboard and I like to play Classical Music there. I know how to play Moonlight Sonata from Beethoven, Minute Vals from Chopin, For Elise from Beethoven, Vivaldi's Spring and many others. I am taking classes on a real piano.

Languages
My language is Spanish, but I'm also fluent in English. I speak an intermediate French. Vous pouvez me parler en francais et je serai heureux! I am a wikipedian in the English Wikipedia

The End
And the last thing... I do not know if anything in this page might be of little interest to anyone. Or if anyone ever reads this.
