Ronin Duck is our second year Master program game. It's an action-adventure style game with a time-slowing multi-target mechanic. The story is about a lone samurai duck who is tasked with saving a poor village from three greedy lords. We had five programmers and three artists on this project. You can find out how to download the game, view screenshots and demos, and read more about the game at its own project webpage.
A first semester project, built in a few weeks with Daniel Reeves. We used XNA Game Studio (C#) to for the development and GIMP for art assets. This game taught us the fundamentals of game programming. We had a level-editor, physics, enemies with AI, animations, and multiple levels.
This program implements a basic edge detection technique I'm studying for my thesis. It is mostly complete, but still needs a good linear depth buffer generator that can handle more than typical depth resolution. This application renders the edges of objects using a double pass render that uses Sobel's filter on the normal and depth buffers.
This program was created to allow me to test different types of shaders for my thesis work. I made a wrapper for a lot of the OpenGL functionality relating to shaders. This program is still in development, but features three shaders to try out.
This contains the entire project for our Ray Tracing class. We kept adding new features throughout the semester. This ray tracer can recognize several types of shapes, materials, and cameras. There is a special file format it reads, designed by Professor Jason Hanson. Several example scenes and the scene specification format have been included with the project.
The wireframe boxes are rendered this way to prove that the boxes behind them are correctly occluded. The technique uses a special depth buffer and object buffer, all manually generated and mip-mapped to interact with the scanline renderer built into the framework.
It toggles between using normal textures and using a bump texture. The bump mapping effect was done manually in the scanline renderer framework.
This program was built to learn about state machine-based AI. I simulated interactions between zombies, civilians, and police officers. Over a period of time, either all the population will turn into zombies (and rapidly die) or a portion of the population will remain with no zombies left.
This is my implementation of A* pathfinding. The avatar can avoid objects as it travels from its starting point to the selected goal. There are lots of options available to customize the experience, all available through the on-screen buttons.
This program contains implementations of most of the curve algorithm techniques I learned in our curves and surfaces class. These include several variations of De Casteljau for Bezier Curves, Interpolating Polynomials and Splines, and De Boor Algorithm for B-Spline Curves. There is also a mode for offset curves, a research project I did as part of my extra Masters-level requirements.
