About

I'm Michael Allar, the awesome programmer who will solve all of your needs.

Being raised in the lower social economic class, I have developed a true sense of what is practical; and try to apply such practicality alongside 'outside the box' thinking to achieve goals in new ways. Given any task, I will do it, but most likely in a way you would never expect. More often than not I breed innovation, and sometimes I create one hell of a learning experience resulting from a tumbling failure. Sure, the means will generally be very messy and covered in the blood of one of every animal, but my end results are always solid, professional, and groundbreaking works.

Just recently graduated from The Art Institute of Orange County with a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Game Programming, in Santa Ana, which could be the least cost-effective private school ever built My programming classes have taught me the total of nothing in which my past programming experience have not already taught me. Instead, I find experimentation and hobby projects the best way to learn and to expand my knowledge.

Here you will find my experiments, struggles, rantings, successes and failures in regards to my programming projects. I am mainly focusing on working with the Unreal Engine lately, taking a break from my standard C# and my C++ projects. As I advance my knowledge with scripting for the Unreal Engine (more specifically UDK), you will see video tutorials I will be posting under the page entitled UDK Tutorials linked at the top of every page.

By no means am I calling myself an expert on any of the subject matter before you however. If you stumble upon methods that I use that are well-written/horribly done, please comment and criticize my work so that I may learn from it.
