Project Portfolio

Welcome to my project portfolio.  Contained on this site are a selection of programs that I have worked on or are working on during my spare time in order to maintain my skills as a software engineer.

The site is split up into three categories based on history and current activity

Project names and a brief description:

Please note, some of these programs require Microsoft DirectX v9.0c - http://www.microsoft.com/directx

1.  Projects Completed.

This section contains projects that I have completed and continue to maintain based on their reusability.  Source code has been provided to show you my coding style and my familiarity with C++ and other languages accordingly.

Common - A common set of C++ classes used with other programs

CSMImporter - A map importer (also sold) for importing Cartography Shop map files into DarkBASIC Professional

Cylu-1.0.6 - A 3D isometric video game, my first major attempt at a professional looking product.

SmartMem - A set of helper functions I've created in order to help track memory problems in development projects

2.  Projects In Progress.

These are projects that I am actually working on at this time.  There are demonstrations of the programs which you can actually run.  Please note that a majority of the programs require DirectX v9.0c or higher.

ODE - Another plugin for DarkBASIC Professional which encapsulates the full functionality of the ODE physics library.  This is still in development, but a demonstration program is provided.

A video MPG file is also available to show the ODE demo in action, click the above image.

XScape - XScape is the successor to Thrust.  A powerful scripting engine designed specifcally for allowing the MODability of a game concept running under XScape.  This has been developed purely in C/C++ for performance gains and is being developed right now.  Please feel free to download the demo. 

3.  Historical material.

These are projects which I no longer support or work on.  They are there purely for interest and experimentation.

Thrust - This is the predecessor to XScape.  I never completed this system because as development progressed, I began to hit performance issues with the script processor.  The only way to resolve this performance issue was to move the whole system over to C++.  Hence the birth of XScape.  Thrust was more of an experiment to see whether it was possible to write a scripting engine in DarkBASIC Professional native code.  It did work for a while, but as more entity data and object event management was added, it became obvious that further development was futile.

A video MPG file is also available to show Thrust in action, click the above image.

Cylu and CLD - Both of these were my first attempt at writing a game in Visual Studio C++.  Cylu is the game, and CLD is the level editor.

GyroEditor - A customized editor written in Visual Basic and utilizing OpenGL.  I wrote this editor for a new game called Gyro.  It allows importing of .vr model files, customized texture selection and manipulation.  It also featured a script editing system that resembled Visual Basic's code editor.  Selection of game and level events are possible.  Again, this was an attempt at providing scripting for Gyro.

Gyro - The actual game, written with Visual Studio C++ powered by OpenGL.

2_towers - I've also done some level designing for HalfLife Team Fortress Classic.  For Halflife players, feel free to download the BSP file and the optional FoxBot waypoint files.
