When he arrived for his first year at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Parker Peterson thought his hobby of coding and developing video games would just be a fun way to pass some time between classes.
Peterson taught himself code during high school, and his longtime love of video games helped him land on pursuing software engineering in college.
“One day during my first semester, I was sitting at the library working on a game. The guy I was sitting next to leaned over and asked, ‘Hey, are you working on a game over there?’” Peterson said. “I said yes, and he told me I should check out Game Development Club. I was like, ‘There’s a game development club?’”
