Super Volito is a hovercraft racing game, with tight racing controls and realistic hover physics. On a team of four, helped develop a full working mock-up game prototype in a year. Visit the discord for images of the full prototype. The demo is a single map version of the game, focusing on mostly showing off the raw game mechanics of the prototype, using Unreal’s html5 emscripten plugin.

Using Voronoi graphs, created a land generation algorithm with a heavy focus on well formed coastal regions, constrained regions, and well layout out topology. In this project I worked from various sources, papers and theoretical ideas, to generate a graph which randomly defined regions with varying height temperature and moisture stats. Later I integrated this code into an asynchronous (both threaded and event stack) in both unity (c#) and canvas (js).

While at Lambda School, I work on a team to build a MUD (multiplayer real-time virtual world). We were given one week to generate a game with multiplayer connections, chat, and authorization, in Django (Python) back end, and React (JS) front end. I helped deliver a random map generator (see demo) and a front end render (using canvas). The Demo shows off the algorithm that generates the room based tile grid system in the game.

Worked on building a backend from a csv db file of spanish conjugations. Created a robust back end and supported the front end developers with various features like authorization check, random word allocation (based on user settings), and server side validation. Also Created endpoints for tracking meta data of correct and incorrect words which reset daily using chronos commands.

A market stands app that looked to connect market owners with vendors, in an easy clean and simple app. Allowing for allocation of various types of booths, and payment. I helped set up the core redux and redux based form validation (redux-forms), along with setting up transitions and built styling to a UX mockup sheet.
