Pogo Parkour - Recipe for Adventure - Gameplay Programmer
University
Pogo Parkour - Recipe for Adventure, is a third-person platformer where the player uses a pogo stick
to find the missing ingredients for the recipe. I completed the project with a colleague for our
coursework as apart of the Approaches to Play module. We made the game using Unity 2022 and C# and
used asset packs for the art.
This project was the first game that I have developed being the sole programmer for the project.
It was also the first time working along side an aspiring game designer which meant I focuses
solely on implementing gameplay mechanics and not design them. The project gave me a sense of what
working for a studio could be like and the type of work I may encounter. I enjoyed my time on this
project immensely.
The source code for the project can also be found on my GitHub here
You can download the game on the game’s itch page here
As a Gameplay Programmer my responsibilities included;
- Ensuring that my code is efficient and maintainable
- Using source control to help manage the project
- Debugging and fixing code
- Working within a team
- Implementing mechanics designed by a game designer
- Creating interfaces for the game designer to use without the need to alter the code
Procedural Terrain Generation (FFT Filtering) - Developer
University / Personal
My second piece of coursework for the Mathematics for Games and V/AR module required me to work with
another member of the class to compare procedural terrain generation techniques. We compared the use
of mid-point displacement and fast Fourier transform (FFT) filtering techniques to create procedural
terrain from noise. I worked on implementing the FFT algorithm and mesh generation. We used Unity
2022 and C# to showcase the two techniques and then produced a paper comparing the two techniques.
In my personal time I revisited the project to improve upon my implementation and to add some extra
features to the project that I didn’t get round to implementing. My aim was to create a more user
friendly application that could display visually appealing terrain. My goals were to improve the UI,
add mesh colouring to the terrain, implement other generation features that other papers talked
about. For this improved version I haven’t included the other technique as I am no longer comparing
methods.
You can view the original version and source code that we submitted can be found on GitHub here.
You can find the new application in both a WebGL and desktop versions on my itch page here.
The improved version’s source code can be found on GitHub here.

L-System Renderer - Developer
University
L-System Renderer is an application that can render Lindenmayer systems. It was developed using
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and C# as my first coursework for the Mathematics for Games
and V/AR module for my MSc Computer Games (Programming) degree.
This project allowed me to learn about WPF and how it is used to create applications. The
application allows users to load a number of presets that create pre-determined l-systems,
step through the different iterations of the selected system, create their own systems by modifying
existing presets, and modify how systems are displayed. During my personal time I developed the
application further by fixing some critical issues found within the submitted version and made some
quality of life changes.
Both versions of the application along with the source code can be found on my GitHub
here.

high-security weapons company and steal the plans for their latest battle droids. With an arsenal of
gadgets and weapons at your disposal, outsmart and outmanoeuvre guards as you navigate through a
complex and immersive world. Can you complete your mission undetected and escape with the valuable
intel?
The game is available to download for Windows on my Itch page found here.
Project source files are also available on my GitHub found here.

Pogo Party - Programmer / Level Designer
Personal
Pogo Party is a wacky multiplayer party game, all centred around a unique bouncing pogo
stick mechanic and griefing your friends! I am developing Pogo Party alongside Lorenzo and
it is based on our second year game project
Pogo Parkour.
We are hoping to release this game on Steam and have setup a company to be able to release this
game.
This will be the first game that I have released on the PC when we release it.

Might-Osis - Game Jam
Personal
Might-Osis is a game that I made with Xavier and Stefan for the ScoreSpace Jam #16. In this
tower defence game you have to defend the body from the onslaught of viruses. Unlike most
tower defence games where you can buy any tower in Might-Osis the only way of getting more
towers is by cloning and evolving existing towers.
We placed 43 out of 60 overall. Might-Osis was also my first ever game jam that I participated in.
Play

- Ensuring that my code is efficient and maintainable
- Working within a team
- Designing and implementing the different turret behaviours
- Helped to implement the core gameplay mechanics
- Bug fixing
- Working to deadlines
