Hey there, and welcome to my first blog post! I'm Karim Abdel Hamid, a Computer Engineering student at the American Univerity in Cairo. I'm currently working on my game engine, Grindstone. I'm also co-developing Oak.js an web-based assembler, disassembler and simulator for RISC-V and MIPS.
I hope to open my own game development studio way in the future. I love games because it's both a science, and an art, and I love engine development specifically because it feels like I have the power to do anything at my fingertips! Computer graphics is such a deep and immersive topic that I could talk about it for days on end, and it really makes you appreciate the beauty in life. Game engines are also a lot more than that though, they're a huge software engineering project, and one that I find very intriguing!
I also love making websites! Both front-end and back-end. I really enjoy animation in UX/UI, and adding social functions to my websites (this doesn't count, since it's all frameworks).
In my personal life, I love to draw, cook, play the guitar, write stories, and hang out with my friends, family, and dog, Chewy! I have a big love of music, video games, and film, and I try to read and watch tv shows when I get a chance to (most of my reading now is computer graphics academia related though).
In this blog, I plan to talk about:
I know not everyone will be interested in everything so you can search by category, but hopefully there's enough to interest everyone!
I hope you enjoy whatever is to come! Let the adventure begin! ALLONS-Y!
