OBJECTIVES
   I am a Computer Science graduate, and I feel real passion for videogames
   since I was 5, when I saw the N.E.S for first time. I remember clearly the
   moment I first saw Super Mario Bross and I thought I wanted to dedicate my
   life to videogames. Actually, the main reason for studying Computer
   Science was the hope to work as a videogame programmer some day. So,
   my main objective is to get a job in this exciting industry and to grow and
   increase my knowledge to make the best games.

ADDITIONAL INFO
    I feel real passion for videogames, so I like almost any videogame genre,
    but FPS especially captivate me, besides the platforms. I feel a special
    affection for the colorful games, and for those which make me laugh, like
    Mario Galaxy or Mario Kart, but I really enjoy playing games like Crysis,
    Gears of War or Mass Effect (I love the last one) too.

    My Final Thesis is a remake of the famous Super Pang, but in 3D instead of
    2D. This way, the player can freely move (both at first and third person)
    inside a cube trying to destroy the balls which are bouncing. The game can
    be controlled by the Xbox360 controller in addition to the keyboard and
    mouse (the last is a last minute addition, so is best to control it with the
    Xbox360 controller), and it has two shot types, interchangeable with “LT”
    button or right-button mouse. I have designed and developed all the
    algorithms, from physics to the camera, radar, etc, and it is made with C#
    and XNA.
