I wanted to develop a fun project that my wife could be involved in so I decided to create a game that she could draw the graphics for and that I could code.

It has been very helpful with turning the nasty physics coding into a Box2D discovery process and gave me additional options. Thanks a lot to Erin Catto for writing and sharing Box2D!

I have been developing software for over ten years. In that time I created many things that could be shared but I never really did. I was strongly focused on improving my skills and did not wanted to put any effort into other things.

Today this changes. From now working on a non commercial project for me includes sharing and reporting over it. I created this personal blog and registered on several social sites as platform for my publications.

In the next steps I will upload a selection of my existing projects.
