My name's Scott JT Mengel, I'm a student at RIT enrolled in their Medical Informatics program and this project is my first studio setting game programming experience. Previously I've worked at the University of Rochester as a game programmer, making software for the treatment of amblyopia. Beyond that, I've gone to school at the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design and RIT (for a time) for animation; my purpose in this project is to take my background with animation and programming and make things look pretty.

I'll be working with Dave on this project, and we're tasked with determining the best practices for our platform, the OLPC XO-1.0 and 1.5. We will accomplish this with copious amounts of caffeine and, for Dave's part, fun dip.

I'm a Scorpio from the year of the Dragon, and I like turtles (tortoises, to be perfectly accurate. Russian Tortoises).
