This game was developed over the course of 10 weeks for the 3d Game Programming course at RIT. It was written in C++ with DirectX 9 and C# for the XBox360 via XNA. I did a lot of the Engine and Special Effects coding on this project. I did the whole shader infrastructure and wrote most of the shaders in the game, such as the effect where the sky fades from dusk to dawn, the water, the heat wave effect, and vertex shader based animation. I also wrote the octree which subdivides the whole planet into several smaller subsections which aids in collision detection and rendering. Overall this was a really fun project to work on, check out the video Colin put together:

Rocktropolis is a music rhythm game similar to Guitar Hero®. It was created in a 10 week period by a team of 4 programmers for a 2D Game Design class. It was developed in both C++/DirectX and C#/XNA in parallel and also runs on the XBox360. The game is compatible (and best played) with a Guitar Controller. Responsibilities included: Engine Architecture and Implementation, Graphics Engine, Gameplay, Data Design. It debuted at GDC 2007 just a week after completion. I wrote a high score list on the plane to San Francisco so that when Harmonix played it, they could grace the top of the list. We had a great number of people try it out, thanks to everyone who played it and gave us some great feedback!

For another class, I made an editor in C# for Rocktropolis:

Multilayered parallax map editor. I wrote this in highschool when I was first teaching myself java. Looking back at it, you can tell I had no experience with object oriented programming, but most of the code is usable. One day I'll redisgn this program.

I wrote this while I was 13 years old, between the summer of 7th and 8th grade. It is written in BASIC (the first programming language I learned). I loved every minute of coding this game. I ended up stopping this project when I realized the limitations of BASIC, and moved on to learn other languages. Although, looking back, I am very impressed with what I created with such little experience and in such a constraining language.

I started becoming interested in webdevelopment at the age of 12. I created this website on my harddrive, and waited until the day I turned 13 to sign up for a geocities account and start accepting visitors. I added many things over the few years that I updated this site, including a "Find Saria Game" which is a maze-like game where you must find Saria in the Lost Woods. This is probably the first game I created that other people actually played. My site recieved over 150,000 hits before the free counter I was using died, and at its peak it was getting 100+ hits a day.
