Hi, my real name is Jelmer Cnossen, I'm a mechanical engineering student at TU delft in the Netherlands. I've participated in a few speedhacks now (under various nicknames though) If I remember correctly: last speedhack (Ghost Flyer), speedhack 2002 (BEA), last TINS (Mars Colonizer - a buggy unfinished attempt to make some sort of strategy game) Every speedhack I seem to get closer to making a complete game, so maybe this time I will :)

Name: markr
From: Oxford, England

I'm a web developer by trade but prefer games programming. I've entered Speedhack 2003 (Fractal pairs), TINS 2003 (Jelly Attack) and Speedhack 2004 (Hurryhover) Apparently myself and Amarillion scored joint first place last time - therefore my goal this time is to beat him :) Only in the nicest possible way. That, and I may try to attempt something I've never done before - Hurryhover was my first isometric 3d game ever.

Name: Shinespark
From: Michigan

Hello! I'm a newbie, so I know that my entry will suck! I want to do this so that I will have the motivation to actually program something worthwhile. Hopefully I won't be doing anything the contest weekend. Maybe I'll learn a few tricks of Allegro while doing this, and I hope to have fun!

Name: Mutator
From: Norway

My name starts with K and ends with M. Occupated by stareing at the ceiling twinning threads of air and singing. I am experienced with not making it to the deadline, so lets hope I do. ...been umh 'bout 2 or was it 3 months since I programmed hehe. So this might get interesting... well I think programming is kinda like a bike, first learnt it... you can never really forget it... althou you are always a little shaky in the beginning. So now adays besides looking at my ceiling, I try to get a decent job... eventhou I should just take any I get... there are some limits of what I would do hhehe. Other than that yeah... I sing and sing and sing, done so for about 3 years about 1-3 hours aday... damnit, I shuld become good soon hehe :-p ...well we all got a dreams,,, cous without dreams, sleeping would be 8 ours of nothing (well I tend to sleep 12 hours regulary :-D Okay enough of my ranting... if I complete this, I'll win the artistics haha (well we can dream now, can't we hehe.. but seriously... I WILL win that part.... or will I hhehe) Over and out mother****er (lover)

I'm a college student who would like to get back into the game programming I lightly entered a couple years ago. Although I may or may not try at all in my game in this speedy competition, I hope the gaming industry can move beyond the Tony Hawk mindset to a real sort of artistic maturity. -Ben

Name: Indigo
From: Hessen - Germany

Real Name: Stefan Allmann Age: 18 Occupation: student Speedhack Experience: Sadly none at the moment... After a very short time of trying SDL or GLUT as basic-libraries to develop programs with OpenGL and other interfaces (e.g. Sound, Graphics [2D and/or 3D]) and not becoming very happy, I started using Allegro. From the first second on I knew "That's it, what I wanted...": A easy to learn library, which provides me a lot of grandious possibilities in game developing; a clearly arranged Website with good manuals and tutorials; last but not least - a great community within the forums, the IRC-Channel and such ideas as Speedhack. best regards, Stefan, alias Indigo.
