Hello! I'm Ayrton Denner, a contributor to OpenApoc and maintainer of the OpenApoc Wiki.
About
I'm a software developer, data scientist, AI/ML engineer, and X-COM fan. I contribute to OpenApoc through gameplay improvements, bug fixes, documentation, and community knowledge preservation.
My main focus has been on building comprehensive documentation for the project — both developer-facing (architecture, coding style, build guides) and player-facing (game mechanics, features, comparisons with the original game).
