I just thought I'll introduce myself.
I'm SIQ from Australia. I'm studying Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence at the moment and I work for an Internet Company(Informed Technology). A friend recommended me to come to this site to share or learn from the professionals in game-design or search-design.
Wow, well at first i thought you're a 'prof' yourself. You will find varying people here. Like myself , i code for fun and i am no expert, though i can hint here and there n specific sollutions. While on the other hand there are some members who have technical knowledge that is beyond my understanding And so on.
as pmb said, you won't find professionals here, but a handful of ppl having worked on a bot and/or related projects for >2 or 3 years. and there's some sort of variety in the ppl around here, their knowledges and approaches. e.g. /me likes to give mathematical prove for certain things like aiming algorithms, while pierre rather assembles a little application which just simulates it, so he can adjust variables
