Unity 3D Game Engine - c#, javascript, Lua, Python
Aegis Online - Self Produced - Virtual TabletopOnline 3D virtual tabletop for traditional Wargames and RPGs with emphasis on end user control and customization.
  • Custom runtime importers of files for user modification. Images, static 3D models, materials, scripts, and more.
  • Procedural mesh generation systems for tabletop grid tiling, and wall systems.
  • Python interpreter system for tabletop automation.
  • Automated download of custom user ‘mod’ files.
Cretaceous Crusaders - Polymorphic Games/Michigan State University - Educational ResearchA viral evolution game with gameplay as a shrunken submarine inside the body of a dinosaur, fighting off an evolving swarm of virions.
  • Continuous evolutionary simulation of a haploid virus.
  • Collection of data on a digital genome and display using “Gene Genie” graphing tools.
  • Poster presentation at 2017 Evolution conference in Portland, OR.
4D Lens slice shader - University of Idaho Virtual Technology and Design - Data VisualizationTo visualise Russian permafrost data from Siberia, I created a custom Unity shader to allow viewing inside objects, similar to cutaway diagrams. The inside cutaway of the object was colored based on a 4D (3D over time) dataset.
