I started playing Minecraft only a few months when it first came out: I don’t remember the exact date, but I believe it was somewhere around September 2009, possibly October.

The making of Doom, id Software's video game released on December 10, 1993, began in late 1992. Doom raised the bar for realism in video games with its then-advanced 3D graphics—central to its success was the new game engine by John Carmack, whose main advances included texture mapping of all surfaces, variable light levels, and floors at varying altitude. The world in Doom materialized through the artwork of Adrian Carmack, Kevin Cloud and Gregor Punchatz, and the level design of John Romero, Sandy Petersen and Tom Hall.

For a few months late last year I spent all of my free time working on an iPhone game by the name of Bullseye Factory. Making iPhone games is just a hobby, but this time I really liked the concept I’d come up with and I was very passionate about seeing it through. I convinced my sister to do all the graphics while I did all the programming, etc. and we ended up with what I think is a pretty polished title.

The game would be implemented entirely in JavaScript and HTML, without Flash, Java or any other runtime. On the back end, we would use one of the many new high-performance event-based servers, eventually setting on Tornado. T
