You can ask me things here.

I'm apparently a programmer, I build things and as is sort of obligatory to say when I say that (lol), I know PHP, Go, C++, little bit of X86 Assembly, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C#, ActionScript (aka the language you make Flash games with), and Python.

My first language was C++ where I had to wrestle with the insanity that was talking to this machine and come to grasp with the mystical realm of pointers, classes, etc.

As for PHP, I've done a fair bit of that including building several forum software, one of which was akin to MyBB 2.0, but in 2013 and with my weird spin, less security than I would have liked (sadface) and some extras I liked (who doesn't love AJAX Loading, ultra quick page loads, although it was sort of immature there, the WYSIWYG editor kept breaking lol).

I've also done some C++ including building a few games, another forum software (an experiment which didn't quite pan out), etc.

Python is one which I don't do much of these days, but I particularly did a lot of a couple of years ago (maybe I'll go back into it). I've built a really simple tile game there, a Discord bot (if you want to learn programming, this is probably a great place to start) and some coursework.

Go is a great one, it's really easy to learn, if you already know another C style language (there's a legend that you can learn it in a single day), it's really fast, and the language is fairly small, so you just compose bigger blocks with smaller ones rather than discovering new bits of syntax and behaviour all the time.

I'm using that for the forum software Gosora.

My other hobbies include anime, strategy games, Factorio (so many hours in that), sometimes rhythm games, reading fantasy novels, posting on FP lol, thinking about writing little novels but never quite getting around to it or being indecisive there, space operas, and on occasion, RPGs.
 
If you had a clock that would countdown to any one event of your choosing, what event would you want it to countdown to?
 
What are they called (Pets) and how old?
 
Glad to see you put up a thread 😀 I have multiple questions!

I'm apparently a programmer
Do you, or do you have aspirations to code professionally (as in 9-5 job) or is it mainly a hobby at the moment?

reading fantasy novels
Who are some of your favorite Fantasy authors?

space operas
Who are some of your favorite books and authors in this genre?

thinking about writing little novels but never quite getting around to it or being indecisive there
Cool. What sorts of genres have you considered writing in?
 
If you could have a video of any one event in your life, what event would you choose?
 
What makes you roll your eyes every time you hear it?
 
If you were given a PhD degree, but had no more knowledge of the subject of the degree besides what you have now, what degree would you want to be given to you?
 
@Azareal Are you building Gosora on your own?
Yes.

Well, I wouldn't exactly want to be a fraud lol
What will happen after the heat death of the universe?
Dunno, it could be any number of things, we really are too ignorant about the universe.
Have you ever painted any pictures?
Many, many years ago, although not really recently. I should probably try it again sometime.
 
What goal do you think humanity is not focused enough on achieving?
 
What's the story behind your username?
Other than Gosora, have you worked on other projects in the past?

And, how are you feeling today? 🙂
 
If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning medal for?
