Bill Catambay, president and owner of ExcaliburWorld Software, is director and producer of the game project Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge. He is also the president and editor-in-chief of the national Apple User Group The Macintosh Guild,〔(The Mac Guild )〕 and editor-in-chief of Pascal Central.〔(Pascal Central )〕 ==Notability== Bill Catambay is the person behind the video game, Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge (EMR). He started the original project in November 1995, and it was released in March 1997.〔http://mac-guild.org/mmmg/news.html〕 Based upon Bungie's Marathon game engine, EMR grew into a collaboration of several talents from different countries, all driven by a love for the idea. In 1996, Bill took on EMR 2.0 as a rebuild of the original EMR, this time based upon Bungie's Marathon Infinity engine. Most of the people involved with EMR 1.0 returned for the 2.0 project, with a few new talents joining the team as well. EMR 2.0 was releases in April 2000〔(MMMG News )〕 as EMR Infinity 2.0.〔(EMR Infinity )〕 The biggest project started in 2004, when Glen Ditchfield approached Bill Catambay to discuss using the Aleph One engine〔(Aleph One game engine )〕 (a derivative of the Marathon engine released as an Open Source project). There were a few more names added to the talent pool, but most of the original contributors of EMR 1.0 were not available to work on this project. With just a handful of talent, EMR 3.0 became the biggest undertaking of all the EMR releases, using the Lua scripting language to implement special effects never experienced before in any of the earlier versions. With new original music, physics, creatures, graphics, sound effects, maps, and storyline, EMR 3.0 was released in May 2007 for the Macintosh,〔(EMR 3 for Mac Press Release )〕 and in June 2007 for Windows and Linux.〔(EMR 3.0 For Windows & Linus Press Release )〕 Bill also created and contributed some of the original music in EMR 3.0, which is currently published on iTunes,〔(EMR Music on iTunes )〕 Amazon.com〔(EMR Music on Amazon.com )〕 and Google Play.〔(EMR Music on Google Play )〕 In addition to EMR, Catambay is the original founder of the Marathon Map Makers Guild (MMMG),〔(The Marathon Map Makers Guild )〕 the group that would attract most of the talent that got involved in the EMR projects. In 1994, Bill Catambay founded ExcaliburWorld Software,〔(ExcaliburWorld Software )〕 which produced EMR (and holds most of the copyrights for original artwork, story and music). ExcaliburWorld also produced such freeware Mac utilities such as Whoopie, DropBin, and CornerClock.〔(ExcaliburWorld Freeware )〕 In 1996, Bill Catambay founded Pascal Central〔(Pascal Central )〕 to support a growing following of the Pascal programming language. In 2001, he wrote the paper, The Pascal Programming Language,〔(The Pascal Programming Language )〕 which was published in Academic Press and on the Pascal Central website. In 1997, Catambay started the Macintosh Guild,〔(About The Macintosh Guild )〕 and become its Editor in Chief. Hundreds of software and hardware reviews were published on his Mac Guild website,〔(Mac Guild Reviews )〕 as well as other articles related to the Macintosh platform.〔(Mac Guild Articles )〕 Bill also authored many of these reviews and articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill Catambay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
