About

I've been programming since 1996. I could go into detail about how I got started and this and that, but since nobody really cares I'm going to skip that part.

I first entered "the scene" in 2000, known then as Plasma357. I had a site with a few of my friends called Nemesis QB (formerly at nemesisqb.com). We released a few programs, nothing too spectacular. Things kind of fell apart, members had disagreements, and we decided to shut it down in 2002.

Years go by. I shorten my handle to Plasma and decide to create another site. Launched in March 2005, Phat Code remained active for 3 years until April 2008.

Even though I am no longer involved in the hobbyist programming scene, I am leaving Phat Code online as an archive for legacy programmers.

Phat Code had two purposes. The first was to house my current and completed projects, programs, and articles. The second was to provide quality resources for hobbyist game and demo programmers. You will find only the best games, utilities, libraries, and tutorials here.

I did not create this site to make money. There are no stupid banner ads or annoying popups. All my programs are free, and most of them are open-source.

For those interested, I created this site entirely by hand, working on and off over the period of nearly two years. I chose to use PHP because it's fast, it's free, and it works well. ;)

I wrote all the code for the entire site, including the forum. Altogether, there are over 15,000 lines. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...

If you need to contact me about anything, just shoot an email to plasma@phatcode.net. I will reply as soon as I can, but I cannot promise a prompt response as I am no longer active online.
