Gameplay Developer

Round Square Studios, Glyndwr University, Wrexham

Voluntary work for writing a controls system for twin-stick shooter in Unreal Engine. The goal was to write the controls so that the character can move with keyboard or twinstick controls.

Managed to successfully switch the controls from the defined template to map them to move rotation relative to the cursor's angle, as well as successfully working on the keyboard controls in the visual script.

Production Operative

Tomlinson's Dairies, Minera, Wrexham

Short time work in moving products around in trolleys.

Developed a sense of management and reaction skills.

Graphic Designer for the new GO Wales Banner

Aberystwyth University Careers Centre, Aberystwyth

Developed a banner for the new promotional material for GO Wales in Inkscape, in request by the clients and part of a voluntary role.

I was to experimenting with the tools I had used, providing interesting results.

Able to communicate with the client about my results and receive his additions to fix the banner, improving my creativity and communication skills.

Computer Science Student Demonstrator

Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth

Advised and assisted 2nd year students in image processing in practical using GIMP.

Whilst there were some difficulty putting effort into answering more complicating questions, communication skills were developed and I was able to describe the contents or help beginners navigate the software.

Excel VBA Web Scraping Example

After coming across the idea of web scraping using VB on a Youtube tutorial, I applied the example to the TIOBE Index for languages ranking as of 6 June 2020. This table would then be further worked with a search box.

View scraped result.

Excel VBA Search Box

Expanding the TIOBE table by writing a search macro to filter out the languages by the matching letter patterns. Based on another Youtube video with application to my scapred set.

Twin-Stick Shooter style space game

Java, 2D, collisions, particle effects

Applying what I had learnt from the beginner's game programming course, I made a twin-stick shooter where players can move across the map and shoot enemies before they reach some gate. A score system for the player and enemies and a collision system for player, enemies, and bullets were implemented. The screens (for the most part) are resizable. There are three options to choose as fire type. I added particle systems at the end of development, which get set off once destroyed.

ThreeJS Practice Demos

JS, WebGL, geometries, file reading

As part of going through the documentries and fundamentals pages of the framework, I gradually apply some of the concepts onto demos where I practice some JavaScript feautres and WebGL concepts. I have covered primitives and scene graphs to build a scene, materials and lights to make a room, creating a collection of items (and rotating them all), loading a file(s) into a scene, and picking one.
