I’m a computer programmer, and that means I’m lazy. So lazy that I’ll go out of my way doing extra work to save myself some extra effort.

As you are no doubt aware already, my name is Ricky Curtice. I was what I liked to call a nonviolent game programmer - that is to say that I wrote nonviolent games. The decision to remove violence from the primary goal of the games I create provided me an interesting set of design issues, but more often proved an advantage than it has a hindrance during my school years. Since that time I’ve gained a stronger interest in virtual/augmented reality systems and how they’ll likely change our lives dramatically over the upcoming year - if the world lasts that long.

This online portfolio has been made to showcase the skills the Lord has blessed me with, not to brag about my accomplishments: in every demo page you will see not only the positives, but also a retrospective of each title that will demonstrate where things went wrong and the efforts taken to correct them. I am a human being, and as such do make mistakes - though with the Lord’s help I correct them.

Team classes can be brutal. Combine that with the class being online, and you can have a recipe for disaster - if you don’t set up a system to counter the negatives.

Communication - the art and practice of relaying information between people - has come a long way since the old string-and-can. Today there are many services offered to help people not just communicate words, but communicate work, action, planning, documents, and much more.
