Evercore Heroes

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Evercore Heroes was a multiplayer co-operative MOBA-esque team-based PvP game in the vein of League of Legends that I shipped during my time at Vela Games

Element Interpreter

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000

While at Ultraleap I was responsible for developing an interpreter over a period of 6 months for the Functional Programming language that we open sourced, Element - designed to execute highly performant and optimised code on hardware embedded devices within deterministic bounded space and time constraints

EnkiNet

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000

EnkiNet is my networking dissertation (2018 / 2019), creating a C++17 high-level networking API integrated with a 2D scenegraph framework.

RTS Framework & Prototype

Sat, 01 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000

A 3D RTS “Game” made using Win32 and DirectX11, written in C++17 in 5 weeks for a university module.

WASM C++ & CMake Template

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Demo. I released this Github Template to set up a new repo that had full support for running C++ on the web via WASM, using Emscripten, alongside all the required libraries, integrations, best practices, and build systems with CI/CD

NES CPU Emulator

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

I built a NES CPU Emulator called SCONES using C++17 (well, it was meant to be a full emulator, but I only got as far as the CPU 😂)

It uses an instruction table that leverages a templated function pointer as a non-type template parameter to create multiple different functions for each type of instruction, and has tests to ensure the CPU is working correctly

Engine27

Sun, 01 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Engine27 was a 2D game engine written in C++17 that I worked on with a friend, using DirectX 11 and Win32. The DirectX Renderer is fully working, capable of sorting and drawing 100k transparent sprites at 60fps with minimal draw calls due to instancing and texture atlas support

Entity Component System

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

After reading the blog post on T-Machine I decided to create an Entity Component System in 2012 by using C++ and SFML. The ECS is unlike that present in Unity, as all components only contain data.

C++ Raytracer

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

I built a “real-time” Raytracer called Ricochet with C++17

Threadpool

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000

I built a C++17 header-only Threadpool library with 4 different compile time configuration options (policies). Uses various standard multithreading functions (mutex, promise, condition variable, atomic). Features unit tests, Github Actions CI/CD, and benchmarks.

Cowboys

Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Cowboys is a networked, turn-based startegy game where you control a team of 5 different cowboys and battle it out against another player. Written in C++17 for a university module. I was primarily responsible for creating the networking system and other engine architecture, such as multiple audio backends, state manager, message queue, and signal & slots.

Birdman

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Birdman is a simple interactive story game based on the birdman movie. Written in C++17 for a university module. I was primarily responsible for the UI, the interactive dialogue system using lambdas, and other engine architecture.

Hexagonal A* Pathfinding

Sat, 01 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Galactic Empires was meant to be a 4x space game made in C++ with SFML, CEGUI, Thor, Lua, and LuaBridge. Development stopped shortly after due to the realisation of the huge scope of such a project and the lack of experience to finish it. It mainly features A* Pathfinding on a Hexagonal Grid, as well as Lua Integration, CEGUI Integration, and State Management.
