PROJECTS

Labyrinth and Quoridor - Designed multiplayer 2D games in Python for the RIT Computer Science

Department. The gameplay was based on Ravensburger s Labyrinth and Gigamic Game s Quoridor

board games. I created the game engine to provide visual gameplay feedback. First-year computer

science students developed the artificial intelligence as a class project and competed in a tournament.

Impulse - Built a 2D physics-based game using XNA and C# in a team environment. I designed the

special effects and used WinForms to create a point-and-click level editor. Impulse was featured at the

Penny Arcade Expo s top 10 game competition (PAX 10) in 2008.

Animation System - Developed a key framing and dynamic physics animation system using OpenGL

and C++. The system used quaternions for angular motion and simulated pool balls colliding on a

billiards table with impulse forces.

Ray Tracer - Designed and programmed a ray tracer that supported reflection, refraction, procedural

shading, shadows, phong shading, and multi-sampling. Photon mapping, a global illumination model,

was used to enhance the 3D renders. The ray tracer was created using OpenGL and C++.
