About Canucksoft


Canucksoft was formed in late 1998, and was formerly known as Floating Point Software. If you haven't already guessed, Canucksoft is a Canadian company. As of late, major projects have been LORD 2 IGMs, but Canucksoft is re-setting it's focus to a new class of door game for the wargaming strategist. Check back here soon for more information.

MikeMichael Bujold, Concept Designer and Head Programmer (and President)
Why did Mike form Canucksoft?
Because it seemed like fun at the time. People actually use the stuff, so it stayed put.
What does Mike do?
Excellent question. I seem to be the one in charge, but that never seems to be the case. And I can be pretty unmotivated to do anything for long periods of time. Until the last minute when I scramble to put things together. But, hey, this is all fun and games right now. I want it to stay that way forever.
Where did Mike start?
Mike has been involved with computers for quite awhile. He initally began his computing carrer with a Commodore VIC-20, and first learned BASIC. Since then, he has moved up from a IBM 286, to a 486, to a Pentium computer. In his 15 years with computers, he has learned operating systems such as every version of Windows, MS-DOS, Linux, and Solaris. He has learned BASIC, Pascal, HTML, Java, JavaScript, C++, C++ Builder, and of course, RTReader.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
His time with computers has also given him 20/100 vision without the aid of corrective lenses. He is currently splitting his time between working for a programming company and taking programming courses. (See NAIT). He enjoys such activities as paintball, lazer tag, hockey, fishing, skiing, water sports, and anything sanely dangerous. (That would exclude things like bungee jumping and snowboarding.) His favorite thing? "That would have to be having fun."

JoelJoel Hillacre, Graphics Designer and Programmer
How did Mike and Joel meet?
Mike and Joel have known each other pretty much since Elementary school. It may seem like awhile, but really, it's only about 10 years. PS. Mike is older.
What does Joel do?
He does what he's told. If I want a graphic, I get a graphic. If I want it tested to death, it get's tested to death. He does subroutines too. He's worth keeping around. Where did Joel start?
Joel has at least ten years of experience with computers under his belt, and has learned OSes like Windows, MS-DOS, and MacOS. He initally started out his programming days with an IBM 286, and got bored of that so he moved up to a Pentium 500. He has experience in languages such as BASIC, HTML, Java, and C++. He is also an accomplished ANSI artist, and he is da bomb with 3D Studio Max and AutoCAD.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
He also enjoys activities like paintball and lazer tag, as well as fencing and street hockey.

MatMat Tokarek, Storyboarder and Programmer
How did Mike and Mat meet?
Mat and Mike met up with each other in High School. Aside from an interest in computers, Mat wasn't an irritating jerk like other computer nerds can be. So ends the story with Mike and Mat becoming fast friends.
What does Mat do?
That's a good question, but he's pretty good at making websites, so he helps out with that mostly. And he works as a good sounding-board for ideas.
Where did Mat start?
Mat has been playing with computers for quite some time. Computers are where he spends most of his time, anyway. His background is mostly MS-DOS and Windows-based platforms, with some experience on the Macintosh OS. His programming expertise is mostly in BASIC, C++ and HTML, as well as Flash 4 and JavaScript.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
Mat enjoys such activities as swimming (he's a qualified lifeguard, folks), curling, playing on his computer, and coming up with plans for world domination.

Like the pictures? Mike drew 'em. We all wear glasses and don't have noses. Cool, eh?
