John Calhoun (software developer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Calhoun is an Apple Macintosh software developer. His first software programs were self-published shareware games (Glider, Glypha, etc.), released under the Soft Dorothy Software name. He was later published commercially through Casady & Greene.
His most famous creations are the games in the Glider series: Glider, Glider 4.0, and Glider PRO. In addition, he created the shareware games Glypha III, Stella Obscura, MacTuberling, and commercial games Pararena and Spaceway 2000 (co-written with Jeff Robbin), and an Apple Newton game, Silicon Casino.
Calhoun has since joined Apple's programming team. He cited poor financial returns on games outside the Glider series as his primary reason for leaving the game development field.
