Freelance Period

Instructor at Konami School from 2003 to 2010.

Lectured on online game programming and iPhone app development.

Planned and hosted contests.

Since it was a school for game programming, I felt that many students lacked practice in basic operations such as string manipulation and array manipulation in C/C++. Therefore, I held the "Writing Solid Code Contest" where students filled in the implementation of empty function definitions and passed UnitTests.

Creating 3D models for game production using 3DCG was too difficult, so to reduce the effort of creating graphic resources and focus on game programming and game design, I held the "Console Game Programming Contest" where students created games that ran in the Windows DOS window.

Created game programming samples for the Windows DOS window in C++. Distributed them to students, who then created games within a few weeks and held a presentation.

Developed brew applications for au feature phones.
