Project Mythicism
Mythicism is a souls-like dungeon crawler that engages players with combat, exploration, leveling up, and resource managing. Beginning in a dungeon the player must fight their way to the Archangel and avenge their family. Along the way they will acquire items and skills to increase their chances of success.This 5 month project was made in collaboration with my classmates in the spring/summer of 2022 for our Final Project at Full Sail University. You can read more about the project on our itch.io Page as well as test out the game itself. Below is also a video of the final product demonstration.This project was made in UnReal Engine 4.27 and it was my teammates and I's first time using Unreal. We learned a lot over the 5 months it took in not only coding and using Blueprints in Unreal but also how to design a game and structure documentation as well.I personally worked on Game play mechanics, VFX, SFX, UI, and UX for this project. My big passion and drive when programming and designing these elements was to make sure that the game was accessible but still retaining our vision of making a souls like game.
Java Final Project
This is a final project for a Fall 2023 Advance Java class I took. It involves Networking, the implementation of Java Swing, as well as File I/O.The Client selects the line number and file then connects to the Server. The Server then reads in the line and file name reads in the correct file to then find the line as well as the 2 lines before and after before sending it out to the Client. The Client will then be able to read the 5 lines from which ever Shakespeare play they chose from the list.
Java Class Assignments
The first video is a compilation of the assignments I worked on in my Introductory Java class in Spring of 2023.The second video is a compilation of assignments done in a Java class of Fall 2023. This was a continuation of the Java class from Spring of 2023 but implements more advance techniques.
Python Small Projects
This is just a compilation of files that are small projects in python as I am learning.For Summer 2024 since I am just starting out this journey it is a mixture of following tutorials in the material I am using as well as making my own programs. So far in terms of projects I have made a simple Rock Paper Scissors game, a program that zig zags text, Conway's Game of Life, and a Collatz Sequence as well. There have been other smaller practice programs but they are more learning exercises than projects.
Vulkan Level Renderer
This was a project made for a Development 4 class which lasted 1 month at Full Sail University December 2021. It uses the Vulkan Engine to taken in level data made in blender and then render it to the screen. It does have lighting and camera movement as well.
Conway's Game of Life C#
TextThis was created in a Project and Portfolio class that lasted 1 month at Full Sail University in January 2020. This is the classic Conway's Game of Life written in WinForms.
