The Cure: Peculiar Pestilence

This was a Game Jam that I worked on with people I met at GDC! This was a submission for the “Week Sauce” April 2022 Game Jam. I was a part of the programming team, we used Unity. The game entails determining the symptoms that the patients have and going to the medicine room to create potions to heal them! More information can be found Here on Itch.io page! Here are some of my contributions / responsibilities:

Dice Tower

This game was developed for a submission to the “GMTK 2022” 48-hour game jam. Initially we had an MVP and playable game, for the submission deadline. After the deadline passed I wanted to add more polish so that it met our original vision for the game. I continued to work but kept the additional work to under 20 hours, to help keep in line with the Game Jam spirit! What is shown here is the project after the additional work had been done.

AEngine

As an aspiring game developer I wanted to explore OpenGL and see what went into an engine by making my own! While it is very simple I have added a lot of features that would allow for a simple game to be created. This demo was created using C++, OpenGL, and GLM. Here is a video of the engine in action! I have made a small game to demonstrate that it can handle things such as:

Pollinator Protection

This project is meant to teach elementary school students about pollinators and their importance in the environment. This was a project that was developed and deployed in beta by employees at the Envision Center before I joined. My task was to take feedback from the client and implement it. Overall I improved the performance and accessibility of all of the modules that I worked with. I also added some new features.

MiFluids

This project is a virtual lab that I am currently working on which will be used to teach students about fluid flow. The lab was created using Unity for the visualization component and using Python to process the data coming from the fluid simulation software. This virtual lab is meant to run inside of browsers in real time. However, realistic fluid simulations are very costly and can sometimes take minutes to hours to calculate, and require higher end hardware.

Hydrogen Atom Visualization

This is a very interesting project that is currently in progress. It is developed to draw the different orbitals of an electron in a hydrogen atom. To create the visualizations, volumes are initially generated in c++ and exported to a WebGL front end. The front end uses ray marching to draw these visualizations. An explanation of what the visualization and colors mean are described below. Opacity: This is the probability that the electron will be found within the area, the brighter the more likely it is that the atom will be found there.

CDL Pre-trip Inspection Training

This is a multi-year project which is being developed to teach users about the pre-trip inspection portion of getting their CDL license. I am leading a team of mostly programmers to develop this using Unity, and we are about midway through the development effort. My main duties involve deciding architecture of the game and developing some of the high level systems, while delegating work to my part-time co-workers. Some of the systems that I have worked on include:

Ray Tracer

This was a project for my Advanced Graphics course. I do not normally like including school work in my portfolio but I think that this is a very important piece of work that I am proud of. This was created from scratch using C++. I used the GLM library for math, RapidJSON for the scene description files, and wrote a custom .BMP exporter for the frames. This project went through many iterations.
