About Me

Hi! I am Hackfight, a 17 years old developer from Switzerland and I speak English and French.

I have been learning how to code by myself since I was eleven and I will soon join the EPFL to learn the proper ways of coding. As a curious person I have always been interested in how everything works but video games and computers truly captivated my attention. I started using command blocks in Minecraft and since then I have learnt much more, making me a jack-of-all-trades in computers.

What I am good at

Game developement

Video game being my main interest, it is the domain in which I am the most skillful. I use Unity for most of my my video games but I have also used other engines such as GameMaker. I have also interested myself in making my own game engine in C++ with OpenGL. To see some of my games see my Itch.io.

Even though none of them are publibly availabe I also make VR games which their complexity only make me more passionate for game developement.

Design

Code is fun but I prefer when it also has a visual aspect, and because I have not yet found the time to learn all the different artistic skills of this universe, I have chosen design. For me, design inludes different categories of design like web design or game design.

Team Management

I believe that no one can work as well as with a team. This is why I usually try to work on projects with multiple people and it is also why I am one of the founders of SwissCommunities. Which is a community centered around french speaking Switzerland on the internet. I have also trained my skill of team work at events such as the Swiss Game Academy which is a presential game jam.

Other

To be a jack-of-all-trades I need a bit more than three bullet points, so here is the rest:

Minecraft not only being my childhood game it is also where I learnt coding I am then able to code datapacks, plugins and mods. The combination of Minecraft and SwissCommunities also thaught me the basics of servers and internet protocols. And of course I also know a bit of web developement and computer structures (I built an 8-bit computer in Minecraft). I also took the time to build my social media accounts and setup streams even though I do not use them actively.

Hobbies

Obviously I am a big fan of coding stuff, I would not be here otherwise. I am also a fan of automation, inde and parkour games. I also recently started to play competitive games.

To push even more the geek stereotype I am studying for a physics degree and gave myself a challenge by studying one year abroad.

I like to take care of all kinds of animals especially the weird ones. I take care of stickbugs, a blob, my cat and a few axolotls. Inevitably my interest for animals led me to the furry fandom where I met a few nice people that I kidnapped and called them friends.

Otherwise I love watching different films and series (Arcane my beloved), listening to music and I am making my first steps into cosplaying.

Leaving the geek stereotypes and entering the swiss ones I love chocolate, the mountains and snow. I praticed a lot of different sports: in the mountains, on the water and under the water. And I play piano.
