My name`s Tony and I`m 18. I`ve started programming about 6 years ago. My hobbies are mathematics, physics, programming and playing computer. I have written many "little" games like snake or my so called "nsc" with allegro, though I now have switched to DirectX. But I'm using Allegro still for speedhacks and TINS :-) (View Profile)
