Matt's name in the credits of Game Boy Advance - The Incredibles
Posted by Jess in Tech Talk

Matt's C++ Unicode page on this site gets a good number of hits, mostly from Google searches, and also Unicode.org's "Resources" links to us here.

About six months ago, Matt got an email from somebody who needed help with some code. Matt worked with him for awhile, and the problem was solved. The very next day, Matt got an email saying that the gentleman had been stuck on that doozy for awhile, thank you very much, you're a lifesaver, oh, and by the way, it's for The Incredibles for GameBoy Advance and your name is going to be in the credits.

Sweet!

This was months and months ago, and we have been eagerly awaiting the game, which is now available along with the movie. Sure enough, in a "Helixe Special Thanks" section, all by himself, there's my Matt!

So thanks Jeff, you were true to your word. And congrats Matt, I'm proud of you!

Dead brill! Many congrats to Matt, that is richly deserved. And it's so nice to see someone keeping their word. :-)

Thanks :-) Maybe the next step could be working on the entire game. Jess & I have been tossing around the idea about designing a game for years. More of a puzzle solving myst/zork type game. All these years of playing DND have built up a pile of puzzles that are quite involved. Who knows :-), maybe some day it will happen.

do it! do it! (funnier in that ben stiller voice from Starsky and Hutch, if you saw that)

:-D

Oh man, you guys should SO write that game. I usually tell folks that I'm not into computer games. Actually Zork and Myst are the *only* 2 games I ever spent any time playing. Each was amazing in its time.

Both those games ARE amazing, Joe. You should definately check out Zork: Grand Inquisitor. I've mentioned it a few times here...

In traditional geeky humor Zork style, it will have you laughing even as the first bits of credits roll.
