==About Me==
My name is Dixon Lau, I am a software developer, a piano teacher, and a gamer. Below is some extra information about my "daily life". No, I'm crazy enough to include a whole bio about myself when making this wiki page, this is merely a copy pasta job from my CPP700's "professional" website.
====Software Developer====
====My Future====
What do I plan to be? In five years I plan to do exactly what I'm doing now. Develop software, continue teaching piano and continue playing mind boggling games. Many of my friends and co-workers tell me that I have a very unique skill set, and that I am not "just another programmer " or "just another gamer". While my skills will increase in each of these fields in those five years, I very much enjoy where I'm headed, and where I am now.
=Projects=
The player was allows to "warp" from one place to another, although there were only two places to warp to and from. The objective of the game was to shoot down as many asteroids and pass the level, the next level would introduce faster asteroids to shoot down.
=Games I Play=
====Touhou====
Created solely by one person, and having a fan base of millions, Touhou is a standard SHMUP game (Shoot-em Up) that I enjoy in short bursts and casual playing. There are currently 13 official Touhou games to date, and at least another dozen spin off games that were created from these 13.
The bane of my reflexes comes from these games, as well as my quick gathering of information as quick thinking. Some gamers believe that these types of games is about memorizing exactly where to go at what time. However, even memorization takes it's toll on the brain power. To the right is my play through of one of these games, imagine the brain power it takes to be able to go through a 27 minutes of pure reflexes and thinking.
A general breakdown of the game...
- You start with two lives, which one extra life every once in a while.
- You die in one hit, if the hit collides with the white circle you see on the sprite when I'm in "focus mode"
- All of the moving graphics on the screen will kill you, in one shot.
