Kairos Odyssey

Kairos Odyssey was a project completed by myself and 4 teammates as our Senior Capstone. The game is a First-Person Puzzle Platformer where the player controls a character stuck in a world frozen in time. On this project, I worked as a programmer, puzzle designer, and level designer.

Fire Particle Effect

This project was done for my Computer Animation 2 class. Here I created a particle effect to simulate a flame. The particles rise from the base of the flame, changing color and heading toward a convergence point.

Gravity Flux

This was a solo project done for my Digital Game Design class. This class was taught by having students use the Perlenspiel engine to create games with weekly changing restrictions. In this game the player assists a red square return to his home by changing the direction of gravity, causing him to fall towards the yellow goal.

Computer Animation Projects

These projects were done for my Computer Animation 2 class. The first of which demonstrates Catmulrom & Bezier splines to move the cube, while using SLERP to interpolate rotation. The second demonstrates Forward Kinematics as two leg and feet cubes are attached to a pelvis cube, allowing them to simulate walking. The last illustrates a Boids with a center point that repels the Boids away from it.

Rush Hour Animation

This was a project for my Animation 2 class. We were given standard boned models and told to animate a dialogue scene from a movie or show using those models. This was done using 3DS Max.

Rush

This was a video made for my Practicum. It was a piece illustrating our need to keep ourselves busy and rush from thing to thing causing us to pass by events and people.

WPI Suite

This was a project for my Software Engineering class where we worked on large teams to add a calendar module to open source Java system. Each week we would be given requirements to be added by our client (teacher). On this project I worked on the back end, creating calendar systems and connecting them to our Apache Tomcat server as well as building strong test cases for the systems we implemented.

Particle Words

A solo Javascript project utilizing HTML's Canvas. The program takes in a word, and draws it using many particles that travel along the paths of the letters. There are 8 color options for the particles at the top of the screen that can be chosen using the mouse and clicking the desired color.
