Currently working on a multiplayer online game (MMPOG) named Quadrant Wars, that uses DirectX8.
Next to this I'm also working on a small nice game which is based on traditional lasergames with mirrors and prisma's etcetra.
I'm also the author of various (excellent) rated submissions on Planet-Source-Code. Two times winner of the ASP code of the month award.
Next to my game I'm working on a website called VB Fibre, which contains several advanced tips and tricks to optimize your VB code really to the max.

  Almar's dedication to the (what turned out to be far more complicated) task was commendable.

He never tired of new problems placed in his path and provided excellent progress feedback through what - through no fault of his own - turned out to be a protracted project.

I've already got another couple of projects in mind, and I'll certainly be inviting Almar to bid for them.

Almar is an excellent roll model for how Rentacoder can work. Thanks!
