I've been programming as a hobby since 2012. I do happen to have a Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) but my passion and skills for software and game mods started way before the degree back when I really got access to the online gaming community for the first time (or simply put internet) and discovered some neat and inspiring mods to games like Halo. I do seem to spend most of my time around Halo related games but occasionally do tinker with others.
Early on I began with map making on Halo 2 Vista, writing some scripts for teleporting vehicles back to the top of my custom speed halo map. Then getting interested in programming I moved on to Minecraft modding and started a Halocraft mod after being inspired by this video Halocraft - Gameplay Preview. After 5 years of development on that (and progressing my programming skills from noob to advanced hobbyist in Java), I got involved in the Project Cartographer mod for Halo 2 Vista. That project involved Python, C/C++ and x86 Assembly, where I started off optimizing the Python server broadcast/relay code to use significantly less bandwidth. Then I moved onto improving the game by "it's just C++ and reverse engineering, how hard could it be?". And for the record, yes it is difficult and painful, but somehow I do enjoy it. Sometimes.
Since then I started a new project called XLiveLessNess (XLLN). Its purpose is in a way similar to Project Cartographer in that it brings back multiplayer to the officially defunct Halo 2 Vista, but also every Games For Windows Live (GFWL) game too! It does this without hacking the underlying game/Title code and instead re-implements the original xlive (Xbox Live) code to pretend like the real thing while also extending functionality beyond the original limits. There's plenty more to talk about regarding XLLN so go look into it if that sounds interesting to you.
To this day I still work on XLiveLessNess and also a few other coding projects but those are mostly for my own usage.
Here's a list of some of my social media accounts you can follow me on. Don't expect me to post much though; I've had a long history of never getting around to releasing or making videos. Also I used to go by the name of Killer Chief, however over time I lost interest in using that alias.
