Hello there!
\r\nAs you may have noticed when you browsed into this page, my name is Mikael Groth. A game programmer by the age of 21.
\r\n\r\n
About me:
\r\nMy passion for games has been there ever since I can remember. We had both a computer and a console back in the early/mid 90:s, which I occupied when there weren't any friends around to play with.
\r\nI ended up at PlaygroundSquad after nine years of Elementary School and three High School years, where I studied Technical Education. Always with the dream of becoming a game developer.
\r\nAs soon as we started with Basic Programming in the Technical Education I realized it was my favourite subject. I also came to the conclusion that it was my way of making games. Programming was so much fun, and have become even more so. The more I learn, the more fun it gets!
