I'm a computer scientist who discovered The Mana World in early December 2004. Recognizing in The Mana World the project I had been wanting to work on for about 2 years already, I immediately got into contact with the developers and joined the team as a programmer.
Until the 17th of March 2006 I was full time employed as an intern at Fraunhofer IPSI, Germany. After that I worked part-time for another 9 months while also working on my master thesis, which I hoped to finish by the end of 2006. Currently I'm working another 4 months part-time at Fraunhofer IGD, hoping to finish my master thesis by the end of April 2007.

Recently completed
- 2006-11-19: Fixed joystick enabled checkbox and separated sprite definition from playback.

- 2006-12-04: Introduced new Viewport class for combining mouse input handling and drawing of the map, as well as allowing widgets to be placed on the map in the future.
- 2006-12-08: Resolved PHP license issue by downgrading base64 codec to the one from PHP 3.
- 2006-12-09: Made use of the new animation system in character seletion/creation.
- 2006-12-24: Made many small fixes and cleanups in preparation of the 0.0.22 release.
- 2007-01-06: Fixed the long standing problem where tmwserv timer code freaked out and removed timer usage from the account server.
- 2007-01-14: Upgraded 0.0 branch and trunk to Guichan 0.6.0.
- 2007-01-15: Upgraded forums.themanaworld.org to phpBB 2.0.22.
Planned activity (whenever I get around to it)
- Release Tiled 0.7.0, with embedded tile palette, enhanced stamp brush functionality, tile instance properties and import/export of configuration.
- Add support for an arbitrary amount of map layers to TMW.
- Keep the trunk up to date with changes to the 0.0 branch until it is discontinued.
- Implement a more flexible listbox to be used in the buy and sell dialogs for showing item icons and aligning price better. Should at the same time be able to function as the base of a reimplemented ItemContainer.
- Help implementing several subsystems in our own server.
- Develop a small tool for building content updates based on Subversion revisions (will probably require Subversion >= 1.4).
- When feasible, write a browser interface that can dynamically create animated GIFs from player base and chosen equipment sprites. Would be neat to also be able to download a layered XCF file to work on it with GIMP.
