I'm Ben, a first year PSD student here at Swinburne. I hail from Mildura, which is a very far away place towards the top of Victoria. I've been using computers since I was 8, and like so many other programmers, started writing code in QuickBasic when I was 10. Over the years I've coded in Visual Basic, JavaScript, PHP and ActionScript. Just recently I started learning Pascal (using the FreePascal compiler) and started to try out the SwinGame SDK.

My favourite games are arcade classics and first-person-shooters. There's nothing more fun then firing up MAME and playing some of 1982's finest pieces of electronic art. Sure the graphics in the old games are pathetic compared to today's standards, but they're still very fun and addictive to play. My personal favourites are Dig Dug, Pacman, Breakout, Galaxian, Pole Position, and Tetris.
