Hello and Welcome

Darren Schnare
I am a self taught Flash developer with a degree in Computer Science. I spend the majority of my time either making games or playing them. I often take online courses in Actionscript, Coldfusion, or gaming related technologies in order to stay current with the latest trends.

In the summer of 2006 I was a member of Log2n, a team of 5 undergraduate students participating in the Dare to be Digital  competition in Dundee Scotland. Our game concept was unique and ahead of its time for its use of a Wii-mote-like input system (before the Wii was released). We used experimental gyro-remote technology to wow the judges and win the crowd. 

We wanted to give people something pretty to look at all on its own yet engaging to play, and had no barriers for gamers of different skill levels. We chose to implement a gesture-based input system with no clicking or button pressing in order to keep it intuitive for all users. The game is Flux, where you charge and build a network of power nodes purley through the use of clickless guestures. We succedded with our efforts and won the "Greatest Innovation and Creativity" award.
