Acknowledgments

I've managed to grasp an absolutely ridiculous amount of knowledge in just 5 years. None of this would have been possible without the constant motivation from my coworkers, tutors, friends, and family.

Thanks to my comrades in software development for being so understanding of my erratic schedule while I was learning game development at school.

Thanks also to my college tutors for helping accelerate me past the core material and learn so much about game development so quickly.

Thanks to my friends for always being a constant source of harassment and inquisitiveness about what I've been working on.

Thanks to my family for giving me the opportunity to learn, live, and love so much in such a short time.

And of course, thanks to my wonderful wife and best friend, Jamie, for being so caring and supportive of all the late nights and helping me stay creative.
