# Zed's Game Dev Website

Hi, my name is Zed and this is where I post things about my games that I'm making.

### I stream on Twitch.

I stream every day at 10AM/10PM EST time. 60% of the time it's a chill laid back stream with only programming and a bit of talking about programming. 30% of the time it's art for games I'm making. 10% of the time it's games I'm playing.

In the year 2025 I decided to finally take all of my skills and apply them to the challenge of creating games. I figured, "Hey, games are nothing more than paintings and music with code attached. How hard could it be?" Turns out, not only is it challenging but it's fun.

## Play My Games

Are you a fan of retro styled jank but fun games? Me too, so here's my games I've made with that theme. Think "it's the late 80s and nobody knows how to make a game" when you play these and you'll enjoy every minute of it. Hopefully.

I try to share all of my code online for people to review. Some of it is open source, but other projects are simply copyright. You're can view and play them if they're published here. I treat programming as a form of self-expression similar to my painting and writing. Given that code is speech according to the Supreme Court then I am allowed to publish my code without a license in the same way that I publish my blog posts and paintings without a license.

## Checkout my Git

If you're curious about the code behind my games or anything else I make then take a look at my git. It's like a buffet of half-finished genius.

## Contact Me

If you'd like to contact me about what you see here then email me at help@learncodethehardway.com. It might take me about a day to respond.

## I Like to Paint

All of the art in my games is original paintings that I process with a bunch of jank imagemagick scripts to give it that "80s/90s retro" look. I frequently do paintings live on Twitch, and I post most of the art here as well.
