| Personal background |
|---|
Hello. My name is Zack "The Great" Hopkins, and I am an 19 year old autistic, independent video game designer and full-time student at Moraine Park Technical College. I currently live in Wisconsin trying to make video games for a living, rather than just as a hobby.
In video game design, I create video games in design and also in program. I spend a good chunk of my time writing concepts, designing and creating systems and code though which my games come to life. I create games using Game Maker Studio.
If it interests you to know,I am currently working on a RTS Sci-Fi game where you colonize and conquer other worlds. In this game I have currently made it generate the universe in simple ways to process using data from NASA, and using theories of evolution of life on other planets, I want to have the game generate races (other than preset ones as relational to the game's "story") and life on other planets based on the conditions that allowed them to form. Its pretty ambitious, but its a passion of mine.
My life's goal is to make a positive impact in the world though creating and telling engaging, or entertaining, stories and forms of entertainment. I at one time, wanted to become a scientist, or an engineer, but I am much more of a thinker and artist than I am any good for math and studying (despite being a programmer). |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI@Home because I firmly believe that there are extraterrestrials out there, living, waiting to be discovered. Its asinine to believe that there is no other intelligent life out there in the universe, and it would also be equally stupid to believe that with no hesitation, the development of intelligent life has all evolved above or never passing though the use of radio transmission. SETI is one of the many ways one day, we will discover intelligent life on other worlds.
My involvement in SETI@Home would have been sooner had it remained in my memory when my mother showed me the project and it's purposed back in 2007-2008. Now that I have my own computers, I can run SETTI@Home and commit my resources to finding extraterrestrial life in the universe.
My suggestion, get NTPCKR back up and running! I really want to see the bigger picture of my contributions as well as other interesting data-tibits. (I love data |
