<!-- From roblox profile:
Outside of roblox, I'm an avid programmer, especially in the field of robotics. Specifically, I've found the L​e​g​o Mindstorms NXT kits to be fantastic, and have won international competitions with them.


[[User:NXTBoy/Instance]]
Naturally, I'm dabbling in the realm of Roblox scripting, although Lua doesn't come as naturally as C, C++, and Java. The main obstacle is the almost complete lack of documentation.

I am a wiki writer, and am focusing on documenting the RBX.lua objects.

Feel free to PM me about scripts that are in my place or ideas that you think would be worth scripting. Comments are always welcome!

Who Am I?

I'm an experienced programmer and scripter that tends to get bogged down in the intricacies of lua, and as such, never actually releases anything of worldly value.

Having said that, I finally made a popular place, as an aid to experimentation with the new raycasting function.

I'm one of the original second-generation wiki editors, recruited for the template-making skills I demonstrated to MrDoomBringer on the roblox wikia. If there's a nice looking template on the site, I probably made it.

I'm also a talented mathematician.

I'm on the Scripters forum frequently, but I don't have the time or bandwidth to play games very often.
