Wacktory

Wacktory™ is a new take on cooperative gameplay that pushes the limits of both Virtual Reality and traditional couch co-op. Players work together to beat the clock and create the most advanced product ever seen — The Cube. PLAYERS AREN'T JUST WAITING FOR THEIR TURN IN VR

Over the last 6 months of my graduate year, I’ve helped lead the Wacktory team from game concept to fully playable VR demo avaliable to play on the Steam platform. Using agile/scrum frameworks to keep track of weekly milestones, I’ve helped the team maintain a steady workflow with positive output throughout the process.

C++, OpenGL Hexboard

The game of Hex is played on an 11x11 board with each player placing tokens of their color, one after the other, until there is a winner. I represented this in C++ using OpenGL, and populated the board with a random, even placement of red and blue tokens. The game of Hex necessarily must have a winner and is calculated using a simple weighted graph for node traversal.

C++, OpenGL Conway's Game of Life

I wanted to implement a game of Conway’s Game of Life in OpenGL where every pixel on the screen was a cell in the game and every cell interacted with each other.
The Game of Life is a "zero player" game and the rules are as follows:
1) Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
2) Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
3) Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.

Python, PILlow Puzzle Solving AI Agent

Constructed an AI agent using Python and PILlow (Python Image Lib) that can use visual inputs, recognize patterns, understand and manipulate input frames, and calculate and return probability of most likely answer of the Raven's Progressive Matrices Tests of Intelligence puzzles. Unfortunately all code is on Georgia’s Tech private github class repo.

C#, Windows Forms Minesweeper

In familiarizing myself with Windows Forms, I recreated the game Minesweeper. The player is allowed to select any number of rows / columns and any number of bombs. The board will generate itself randomly. It's not flashy, but it was fun to get this working.

GLSL, WebGL “Pixelation” Shader

Implemented a GLSL “Pixelation” post-processing shader in WebGL. I wanted an effect similar to the classic “blur” you might see on a TV censor. The user is able to select the amount of blur they would like.

The Guardians of UCSC

The Guardians of UCSC is an ARG (alternate reality game) that took place the Winter of 2018 throughout the University of California Santa Cruz campus. Players were taken on a journey that lead them to both physical locations as well as online places to solve riddles and work together to learn the dark history of UC Santa Cruz and the animal mystery.

Over a 10 week period I helped lead a team to produce this ARG that had lots of moving parts. I used a Gantt chart to help track progress and regularly made sure all departments were working together and had all the information they needed. This ARG is now finished, but over the 10 week period when the game was up and running we scheduled performances, demonstrations, held cryptic online Reddit conversations to advance the game’s plot, and invited the school to a vigil to mark the end of the game. There are still artifacts at the school to this day. The questions might be lost to time now.
