   University Comp Sci student looking to kill spare time.
  Hello GDnet. My name is John, I'm a freshman at Rensselaer, and I'm looking for a good group of people to write some games with. I've been programming on and off for several years, and now go to school to study computer science. I am not an incredibly seasoned programmer, but I learn alot and I learn it fast here at school. My skills and knowledge are always increasing and I know that I would be a valuable addition to any simple team. The best way to describe me as a programmer is inexperienced yet brilliant. I will be able to write fast algorithms or crazy data structures, as well as many other tasks. I program in c++.My ideal team is just a bunch of laid back guys like me who just want to get together and have fun making games. I will code ( or attempt to code ) just about anything, but honestly I can probably only handle a 2D or console based game right now. I'm not really looking for a group that has no idea what they are doing and is run by a 15 year old, but I'm a pretty flexible guy.So, if I sound like someone you might like to work with let me know, thanks.contact info:AIM: JohnD8715email: darrej@rpi.edu   
  Hey Dagnarus,I was looking for something like that, too - a laid back team and programming games for fun. My skills are also at a similar level.I'll contact you next week when I have internet at home.   ;  Hey. You sound almost exactly like me... I'm a freshman in cllege too. PM me if you're interested in having me in your group.   ;  Aye same here.What are your targeted languages or genres?;  I work with c++, and like i said ill work on almost anything.   ;  Hey John,My name is John and I am a sophomore at RPI... I live up in Colonie Apartments. Anyways check out my projects, as I am a CSci major as well.Dx5DcsOrbituaryI work with C# and Dx, anyways I'll edit this later... :Dedit: Yeah, I have a lot going on. I am working on a pretty big 2d game engine for an independent study (Dx5D) and am trying to finish csOrbituary. I need to get that done...badly I need to get it done... lol but yeah. I know quite a bit of C++ although my current csci class is all about asssembly. Honestly I am not into C++ right now, too much overhead for what I want to do.I am pretty laid back and am working on quite a bit of nifty things for the MDX community. If you are interested, let me know...[Edited by - Krisc on November 25, 2005 11:25:39 PM];  I am looking for a group like that. However, I have been so busy this semester (I am also in my first semester of college) with stuff, that I have not had time to program outside of one of my class. I am about to have a lot more free time on my hands in about 3 weeks. I have taken CS I and II in high school and got credit for them. Now I've taken C programming in my first semester (almost done with it), and I am taking Discret Math for Computer Science and Object Oriented Programming in Visual C++ next semster. My CS classes in high school were in Java, but I am migrating to C++ now. If you are interested you can contact me over aim at OrangeTripWire, or email at mobrien38@cox.net.   ;  Hey this sounds interesting.I will PM the guys who post here, about setting up a group.(I cant ofcourse mail everyone).I will be mainly just looking for a few ideas to start with ;)I been looking for something like this, and I am really interested in setting up a group.About me?My Site: http://xlock.fusionxhost.com/My Games: http://xlock.fusionxhost.com/download.php?page=gamesHey any ideas and suggestion are welcome. Drop me a PM if you like ;)   ;  I've been doing something similar recently, kicking out with a mod project for Quake 4 with a couple of other student programmers, and seeing just what we can do with the SDKs' public source. It's all good fun, best of luck with your searching :)   ;  Now I know why this place is fun to post at, there's people like me.I'm a freshmean, too, first semester a t UW studying CSE and digital arts/experimental media. I know C# fairly well, I guess I could learn C++. I can also do a little 3D modelling and animation as well.
