Gaticus Hax

If you want to see my projects, go to my personal group @Gaticus.Hax (Gaticus dot Hax).

Hobby/indy software and game development, hacking at my PC and coding since the 1980's.

Mostly, I tend to do a lot of pretty low-level stuff: backend, tooling, engine, API's, devops, a lot of one-offs, half-baked experiments and explorations into whatever piques my interest.

My goto these days is C# and Unity but I also do C/C++, ASM, Ruby, JS, Java, PHP, Python and any number of other languages, when it suits me.

Some of my areas of interest:

• Procedural Content Generation
• Artificial General Intelligence (not like chatgpt, ughh)
• Graphics Rendering
• Physics and Simulation
• Programming Language Design
• Compilers and Compiler Theory

If you are curious, I am an old-school hacker (hence the name), in the true sense of OG hacker culture.

What they had in common was mainly love of excellence and programming. They wanted to make their programs that they used be as good as they could. They also wanted to make them do neat things. They wanted to be able to do something in a more exciting way than anyone believed possible and show "Look how wonderful this is. I bet you didn't believe this could be done." ~Richard Stallman

I'm not a cracker (cyber hacker), though you might call me a grey-hat hacker in that sense.

The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them. ~Hacker How-To

I am a craftsman, an explorer and an inventor. The master of my digital workshop, a personal silicon universe.
