Most of my programs were never revealed to the public - no one needs another 3D-operating system or a photorealistic egoshooter!
Some of those which were can be found on this page, regardless of their usefulness.
I started with C++ and the Borland C++ Builder then took the first step into game development with Gamemaker.
Being forced by the computer class I switched from C++ to C# (Visual C# Express).
If you don't have a program for opening .rar-files, I recomend downloading
7-Zip.
