Piken
A simple guy who is curious about everything and likes to take things apart. One day, his attention turned toward his SNES…
Since then, he’s written a few documents on what he’s learned and a few small utilities (mostly DOS), mostly written back in his earlier college days. After graduating (somehow persuading his professors do a master’s project on exploring the potential of the Xbox 360 for scientific visualization), he decided to continue his interest of graphics, and now works on DirectX.
