About Me
Welcome
Hello, thanks for stopping by at my corner of the web. My name is Philip Gamble, although online I use the alias of freeg131. I am a year 13 computing student at Rickmansworth School and live in Watford, UK.
Game Maker
Since May 2007 I have been a regular contributor to the MarkUp game development magazine which focuses on the Game Maker programming platform. I also post regular news articles and comment on Game Maker related matters on my popular blog, GameMakerBlog.com
I planned, co-wrote and run and maintain a Game Maker affiliation service which people who run websites providing Game Maker resources and games can use to dynamically link with other similar sites. In the first year of operation the site served upwards of 1,800,000 banners impressions resulting in over 11,500 banner click-throughs. I also run several other Game Maker related services including GameMaker.tv, a video tutorial site, and GameMakerStream which aggregates Game Maker news from a number of respected sources.
Programming
I completely rewrote the admin area for SpikesZone.com, a traffic exchange exchange service with over 1,000 members, and added a number of additional features to improve reporting and enable tasks to be completed more rapidly.
In the past I took a greater interested in the Internet marketing sector, running popular paid-to-read email websites including no2allmails and a paid-to-promote site which at its peak was recieving over 150,000 full page ad views a day and was delivering upwards of 2,500,000 banner impressions a month.
