	I've had formal education concerning Prolog, Haskell and Java. I also learned about computational complexity and I know some basic learning and searching algorithms. I have work experience coding websites in PHP and MySQL. On my own I've picked up a little Python, Lisp, C and C++. However, I definetely need to brush up on my C(++) skills before I undertake any major projects.		I've had formal education concerning Prolog, Haskell and Java.

		+	The way I see it, there are 3 possibilities for the style of game:
		+	+ Topdown RPG/Shooter
		+	+ Action/Adventure FPS
		+	+ BenT's 3rd Person Action/adventure game
		+	The middle, if implemented using the Quake 1 or 2 engine, seems the easiest. The others could be developed as offshoots later, but otherwise they are too big of a project to undertake. The quake mod would be an FPS, designed for longer games, running hours or even days, at the very least, the endgame is hard or nonexistent. Players could log in and out of the server and have their stats be the same. It is like a Deathmatch, sort of. ALL the zombies are NPC's, to 1. induce the horde feeling and 2. so that would-be zombieplayers arent over/underpowered. There are only two stats: Skill and Combat. Skill is for things such as Healing or other misceallaneous, while Attack is for, well, attack, and it improves Attack and Defense. They level up passively, but tell you when they do. They level up the more you use that skill.
		+	Humans, the players, can choose to be united against the zombies, fall into their own groups and gangs, or to all duke it out individually. Their play style can be completely decided by them.
		+	Weapons: There will be a fair deal of weapons, but not an insane amount. Players will start with a bat if they start as a boy, a kitchen knife as a girl. (no offense to anyone, lol) Anyway, thats just some of the idea. I want to make it in depth, but streamlined at the same time.
