My name is Joseph 'Wick' Perry. I grew up out in the country outside of Portland, Oregeon, so there wasn't a lot for a teen to do besides play games. At some point during middle school, I found a "Game Programming for Teens" book at goodwill with a demo CD for blitz basic and started working out of it. Soon, I was making games for class assignments (it was a small public school so my teachers were willing to let me do so)...
