An introduction

My name's Rhodri Hewitson and I'm currently enrolled in Newcastle University studying an MSc in Computer Game Engineering. I did my undergraduate in Mathematics at Cardiff University. Good at Maths, I never felt really satisfied with my course: it was all too theoretical for my taste. Now I'm looking forward to applying what I learnt to program great games.


In this blog I’ll be talking about the games I play, offering my thoughts and opinions about them, and writing about what I learn about programming and games design throughout the year.  The course is about games programming, but I’m also interested in games that stretch our minds and experience, so I’ll share my thoughts about this as I go along.
