 About Me

Hi! I'm Ahiddenfigure, editor and contributor to the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki, StrategyWiki.

I joined SW late last year, mostly to work on the Drift City guide. When I first came, the guide was sparse and missing many key details, but since then myself and countless other contributors have really brought it up, although it still has a long way to go before reaching completion stage 4. I mostly do additions and cleanup to "extra details" sections of guides, as I personally tend to use StrategyWiki as a reference, rather than a guide or walkthrough, so I like to make sure reference pages are exhaustive in detail while still being logical and easy to sort through. It doesn't mean I haven't contributed to walkthroughs; for Drift City alone, I've done the guides to Station 3 in both Moon Palace and Koinonia as well as the guide to Repeatable Missions (although it's not totally complete because I missed some screenshots).

I've now moved on from Drift City, and I'm concentrating on building up guides with little or no content for games I've played and liked. I'm currently working on Plants vs. Zombies, and I will soon be making a guide for Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a PlayStation Network downloadable game which is basically a soccer-ish game with cars, and based on the Unreal Engine. Can you get any more awesome? It so deserves a guide on SW, and I'm going to get a friend of mine to help me write it.

Although I'm studying Engineering, web page design is my favourite hobby and a passion of mine. I've got experience in (x)HTML, CSS styles, PHP/SQL (although not the object-oriented stuff) and I'm starting to learn HTML DOM manipulations with JavaScript, which has all been self-taught. I've designed web sites from scratch for a couple of small companies(that's layout, graphics, scripting, implementation and upkeep) and made countless web pages and micro-sites for testing and learning.

 Some thankyous and legal things.

Some thanks and acknowledgements:

  • Tath for first advertising SW on the DC forum and indirectly persuading me to join this site.
  • Skizzerz for the templates for the toolbar. Unfortunately it doesn't look so good in monobook, but I don't use it, so it's all good.
  • Najzere for being the edit police (I mean that in a good way) and always showing me the other point of view. Keep it up.
  • Anyone who's made considerable contribution to the Drift City guide and not already on the list, you guys rock!
  • Late inclusion: Dukeruckley who I recently found out has a similar, but arguably more awesome userpage than mine! Kewel!
