Minecraft Gun Mod
For Minecraft Java Edition
Using Minceraft Java edition’s object oriented engine, I created a multitude of guns and other projectile based weapons for Minecraft. Through this project I learned: basic and advanced OOP workflow, 3 dimensional graphics and GUI programming with OpenGL, and how to write modular code in order to fit nicely with the rest of the base game.
Astronaut Platformer
Made from scratch in C++
Using a simplified version of my game engine, I created a 2-Dimensional astronaut themed platfomer. All graphics and animations were created by me. Through this project I became more familiar with C++ code writing, dynamic memory management using both raw and smart pointers, and learned the basics of graphics, input, audio, and physics in games and game engines.
Fully Featured Game Engine
Using the platformer game discussed above as a base, I have been creating a fully featured, fast 2D game engine. This engine has a realistic custom physics engine, efficient but flexable rendering engine, and an Entity Component System that allows for large numbers of complex entities to be created with minimal code duplication. Throughout this project I have become proficient at nearly all aspects of the C++ programming language. Furthermore, I have advanced my understanding of important game development concepts such as Entity Component Systems(ECS), scripting, multithreading, and other game development programming patterns.
