Anthony Coyle - *~°🚛Keep On Truckin'🚛°~*

Hello y'all 😃

I'm a long time reader and decided to finally join. I mostly code in C++ and aspire to be a published game dev some day. I make pixel art, but I'm no artist. Sometimes making the pixel art is harder to do than the programming.

I have my associates and would like to go back to school to get my bachelor's degree. I'm currently teaching myself Java, Python, and some of the more advanced C++ concepts and graphics libraries. I'm a dog person, though cats are cool too. I'm also a fairly chill and mellow person.

I'm also very passionate about wanting the world to have, at the very least, a basic literacy in CompSci and basic programming concepts. I believe that in the modern age where we all interact with computers everyday, a basic literacy in programming is just as important as knowing how to read, write, and do basic math.

I've thought about possibly becoming a teacher for middle school children and
would want to teach them computer science concepts. I think it would be awesome if I was the influence for a kid to choose the path of a software engineer.

I look forward to what we can all do for each other to become the best programmers and people we can be. I like to try and see the potential and best in people.
