Veronika Megler developer of the Hobbit FAN VIDEO!
Veronika Megler, born in 1960, is an Australian computer scientist. Megler is currently principal data scientist at Amazon Web Services, and is well known as the co-developer of The Hobbit, a 1982 text adventure game adapted from the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien.
As quoted in a recent newspaper article Veronica said , of the Hobbit, "I saw the possibility of what could be done – so I did it".
At only 20 years old Veronika undertook a large commercial coding project having only just learnt how to code! The proof of her intelligence is evidenced by her now working as a principal data scientist at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and obtaining a PhD in computer science.
Veronika said : “There were essentially message templates and a dictionary of words, and a lot of the power of the game comes from the fact that there are just three or four basic ideas that interact with a fair amount of randomness to create what can be called emergent behaviour.”
