Personal Projects
Magna Karter - a fast paced puzzle action game
Magna Karter was developed in collaberation with two friends in a 72 hour coding binge. My coding responsibility focussed mainly on writing the world model and gameplay code, asset management and world partitioning. I also provided current art and level design. We have also added support for Xbox360 pads, and Nintendo Wii controller.

A week after the core development, we got together to critically discuss the production of the game, and wrote a post mortem that details what we think went right with the project, what went wrong, and what we would have done differently were we to make it again.

University Projects
A* Pathplanning and artifical intelligence
This is an artificial intelligence path finding demonstrating an implementation of the A* path planning algorithm, with state and goal based actor behavior.
This application simulates the automated behavior of many game actors in the context of a fantasy ‘hack and slash’ role playing game and showcases their every day life. This includes collecting loot, hunting monsters and defeating foes of a rival faction as well as conquering territory.
This was a university final year AI module project, and the final report can be viewed here as an Adobe PDF.
