The Great Foohachi

When I was 8 I learned how to program in Basic.  I taught myself html when I was in high school and the world wide web was new.  I started making websites enhanced for Netscape 1.1 and even received a bit of notoriety for one of them.  From there I moved onto Pascal, then Javascript, Perl, Classic ASP, VBScript, SQL, SAS, VBA...  But I always wanted to make video games.  And while I made a few as a kid and teenager, it pretty much came to an end when I got to college.  Instead I used my computer skills for 3D modeling and animations, which I also found very enjoyable.  However, when I preordered my Analogie Pocket several years ago, I was intrigued by the fact that it would support games in GB Studio.  My Pocket arrived, but I never really got around to trying out GB Studio.  Well, that all changed when I thought it would be fun for my son, who was learning clarinet at school, to play a rock song.  I found a simplified version of Seven Nation Army, and he was able to play it.  This gave me the idea of using it to make a Game Boy game about the White Stripes.  Well, it didn't go very far until I came up with the idea of including the song in a Guitar Hero type-game.  I opened up GB Studio, and I gotta say I like it!  It's a shame I never tried it out earlier, but better late than never.  Stay tuned as I plan to make more great games in the future!
