About the Author
Born in 1961, Robert Wiebe has more than 30 years experience in designing,
implementing, and testing software. He wrote his first game in 1979, as a high school
student, using the 6502 assembler code on an Ohio Scientific C2-4P computer with 8k
RAM. More recently, he has focused on developing games and utilities for Mac OS X.
His interests include collecting vintage computers, which include many pre-IBM PC
era microcomputers, Apple Macintosh computers starting with the SE/30, running
Mac OS 7 through to the Macbook Pro running Mac OS X that he uses today,
and both 2D and 3D game engines including Cocos2D, Torque, Cube 2, Dim 3,
GameSalad, and Unity.

In addition to writing games, he has experience developing software in a number
of industries, including mining, finance, and communications. He has worked for a
number of employers, including Motorola as a Senior Systems Architect developing
2-way wireless data systems, and Infowave Software as the Software Development
Manager for their Imaging Division. After working for other people's companies, he
founded his own companies, Mireth Technology and Burningthumb Software, which
are his primary interests today. This is his first book.
I would like to thank my son, Abram, who not only inspired me
to pursue writing, but also has been instrumental in researching,
reviewing, and revising the content of this book. I would also like
to thank my wife, Donna, for not only encouraging me, but also for
making it possible for me to pursue the things I want to do. And
finally, I would like to thank my daughter, Amanda, who keeps me
focused on the things that really matter in life.
