A person of intrest
Hello and welcome to the small section that's all about me.
My name is as you have probably seen plastered everywhere is Iddo Shoikhet, I am 24 as of writing this and I am a third year game programming student.
I hail from Israel, where I lived for 22 years before moving to the Netherlands for my studies. I have always had a special connection to video games as far back as I remember, my father coming back home with a WII and a copy of Zelda Twilight princess (arguably the best Zelda). He told me that I am not allowed to play since I was six years old and knew little to no English, so I did the only thing I kid at that stage knows, the complete opposite of what I was told not to do. Of course I understood nothing an had to ask for help every other frame, but that game was how I started learning English. From there my father bought a PS3 with Uncharted 2 and later on Mass Effect 2 and so on. Those stories, those worlds, the characters have led to my fascination with video games and what cemented my urge to be a part of something s that could be as monumental to someone else as those games were to me.
During my free time I tend to spend my time either with my girlfriend or with friends, but whenever I have a free period I tend to write stories, or write down game ideas I have.
My hobbies are Football, Badminton, walking, and cooking!
I have two dogs back home in Israel that I sadly couldn't take with me (see picture for reference)
My background begins in the my mandatory service, I served for two and a half years, without going into details, I was stationed in human resources, after a year of service I was promoted to a commander of a small office and I took upon myself the task of automizing the work of that office.
During the last half year of my service I started learning C++ in order to apply for my studies, as the intake assignment was to make a small game in C++. That was the first time I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with a C language. Since then I have used Python for a few of my tools and have been learning how to write my own language.
