About
hiive
hiive is an ex-UK resident who currently lives in a bunker located in places unknown. He has a BSc in Physics, an MSc in ML/AI, and currently earns his keep as a Lead Data Engineer and Subject-Matter Expert (SME) for the use of ML/AI in medical research.
hiive has written several books, all connected in some way or other with his love of games. The most notable of these being a very well-received book on game architecture and design, which has been the reference for many college and secondary education courses. In his spare time, you may see him working on games. He, sadly, does not have much time to play them anymore. He has been writing software for over 25 years, and is knowledgeable across a wide range of industries and programming languages, ranging from BASIC and Z80 assembler in the early days, through C/C++, and out the other side to Python, C# and (more recently) Rust.
Note that his avatar is not really what he actually looks like. However, it is what AI thinks he looks like based on a text description and an uploaded photo. He’ll take it.
Kojika
Kojika is a writer and game designer with a passion for creating inclusive and accessible experiences. Her keen interest in accessibility drives her to develop games and stories that are enjoyable and engaging for all audiences, regardless of their abilities.
Kojika continually seeks to broaden her knowledge and skills in the industry, staying updated on the latest accessibility practices and innovations. Her dedication to inclusivity not only enhances her creative projects but also contributes to making the world of gaming and literature more welcoming and accommodating for everyone.
Kojika is a skilled writer and story-teller, and is currently learning Python so that she doesn’t have to keep asking hiive to write programs for her.
Her avatar is far closer to her real-life appearance than hiive’s. We’ll take it.

GitHub Pages
This content is hosted on GitHub Pages. They make it easy to create and host websites for you and your projects. Your content is hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live. It couldn’t be easier.
Jekyll
At its core, this content is powered by Jekyll — a tool that allows you to transform your plain text into static websites and blogs. You work in GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM) and Jekyll spits out the templated HTML that your site’s visitors see.
JekyllFaces
Jekyll is great at managing blogs and static pages, but sometimes you want a little more interaction, or you want to present content other than a blog post or landing page. That’s where JekyllFaces comes in. It provides GitHub-Pages-friendly extensions to make managing content for your projects easier to promote and manage. NOTE: This site uses a pre-release version of JekyllFaces since it’s not quite ready for general use.
