Zach "theY4Kman" Kanzler is the owner of [http://y4kstudios.com Y4K Studios]. He is a programmer most notable for his work in [http://cheatsync.net CheatSync] and [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]].

==Projects==
theY4Kman has worked on several major projects, and some smaller ones.

===CheatSync===
With the advent of [http://cheatdevice.com CheatDevice] by edisoncarter, the cheats created for it were spread across the web. On [http://gtaforums.com the GTA Forums], ADePSP and theY4Kman discussed creating a database for all the new cheats. theY4Kman wrote the website front-end for it, and hosted it on his site. It was a very basic form, consisting of an author field, a name field, a description field, and a cheat field. ADePSP wrote the desktop application for it, in [[Delphi]]. As the new database was about to be released, theY4Kman thought up the name "[http://cheatsync.net CheatSync]."

[http://cheatsync.net CheatSync] was a huge hit. Hundreds of users contributed thousands of cheats. The crummy front-end and buggy program couldn't deal with the load. edisoncarter purchased [http://cheatsync.net cheatsync.net] for ADePSP. ADe programmed an online version of [http://cheatsync.net CheatSync], in the [[PHP]] language. At this point, theY4Kman was no longer necessary.

Zach offered to create a version of CheatSync which used AJAX, but the project quickly ended, due to lack of time.

===EventScripts===
Zach became addicted to [[Source engine|Source]] games (e.g., [[Counter-Strike: Source|CS:S]] and [[Half-Life 2|HL2]]). With his programming background, plug-ins like [[EventScripts ]] and [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]]. At first, he experimented with [[EventScripts]]. However, he did not appreciate the lack of performance it held and its heavily scripted language. This led to his delving into [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]].

===SourceMod===
Upon learning '''SourcePawn''' (The language of [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]], based off [[Pawn (programming language)|Pawn]]), theY4Kman wrote the plug-in "[http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=56376 Maplister]." It was a very simple program, that printed out all the maps available on a [[Source engine|Source]] game server. After his first plug-in, he developed a few more plug-ins, such as [http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=56264 Weapon Rewards Advanced], [http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=60146 CommandReact], [http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=56778 UserRestrict], and [http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=56960 EventInfo]. His latest plug-in is [http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=67098 Triggers], which provides [http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/mani_admin_plugin/documentation/mani_install_config_commandlist.htm commandlist.txt] functionality to [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]] users.

====Viper====
One of his latest projects is an extension of [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]]. Viper is a program written in C++, which allows [[Sourcemod|SourceMod]] developers to code plug-ins with Python, instead of [[Sourcemod|SM]]'s native language, SourcePawn.

The project took off the in IRC channel [irc://irc.gamesurge.net/sourcemod #sourcemod]. One of the members bet theY4Kman that he couldn't do it. However, Viper is being actively developed now.

Originally, Viper was named "SMPython," for "SourceMod Python." To Zach, though, it seemed very generic. A week or so after the title "SMPython" was given, the project was renamed to "Viper." The new name came from the [[Viperidae|snake family]] and the user "Viper," who is an active member of [irc://irc.gamesurge.net/sourcemod #sourcemod].

==Pronunciation==
'''theY4Kman''' means "the year 4000 man." The simplification of "Year 4000" to '''Y4K''' was derived from "Y2K", meaning "Year 2000". Thus, '''Y4K''' is actually pronounced "Why Four Kay," not "Yak." This common mistake originates from the notion that frequent internet users speak [[Leet|Leetspeak]]. However, using "Yak" is accepted.
