Job and Work Experience

A while ago, i asked for book recomendations to get a little further ahead with my programming. Thankyou everyone for the sugestions, and while i have only read 'code complete' so far, i now have a new job in melborne, as a programmer (in a games company)

incase anyone is interested is seeing what got me the job, i have writen a small directX fighting game, own animation and physics system, which can be downloaded or just look at the movies, here

http://www.dsc223.com/

was also trying to get 'burnout' finished before showing off this site, it is a 'scorched earth' 3d implementation, but will take a week or so to finished it (it is a small project i am doing as a break from 3 months working on the fighting game. Implemented a 'marching cubes' style game world (polygons placed on the boundary between solid terain and air~ so it allow much more damage to be done to the terain, think swiss cheese)

thanks for your time,

For the record Bullant Studios is a privately held company with no relationship with IR Gurus.

To my knowledge David Coen has not been offered a position at Bullant Studios.

my confusion, though antjuice was the same as bullant... i think my habit of only going online once i'm too tired to do any more programming is getting to be a bad habit
