Personal Projects
BOIDs Ocean Simulation
For my A level computer science coursework, I created an ocean simulation that simulated shoaling sea creatures and interactions between them using the BOIDs algorithm.
Blender Projects
As part of my Games Production BTEC, I made extensive use of Blender. I created some photorealistic models such as the monitor and some more low-poly assets such as the cargo ship.
Random Planet Generation
For my AS level Extended Project, I created a program that randomly generates planets for use in games or simulations. I did this by generating a sphere that I manipulated with random, coherent noise. I then layered different variations of that noise on top of each other with varying layers of detail. I also created a shader that coloured the planet based on the terrain’s height and added biomes that generate based on the longitude. Finally, I coloured the ocean based on its depth. The purpose of my project was to experiment with randomised generation of terrain. I covered new areas in this project such as mesh generation, procedural textures, and editor menus.

ColourTD
Another part of my Games Production BTEC, was to create a game using Construct 3, a simple online game engine. I created a tower defence game called ColourTD. It was based around the concept that towers could only destroy enemies of the same colour and included a level generator that could generate levels from json files. Tower types could also be generated from a json file which made the game easily modifiable.

Football Game
I also had an exam in my Games Production course where I was tasked to design and develop a game in an exam with the theme of 'sports'. I created a top-down football game where you had to kick a football though a map and past defenders who defended marked boxes till the ball was kicked into the goal at the end.
Arkwright Submission
As part of my submission for the Arkwright scholarship, I had to plan and create an engineering project. I used Unreal Engine 4 to create a side-on real-time strategy game where the player sent troops from their side of the screen towards the enemy castle. Due to covid, the project was no longer required as part of the submission and I did not complete it. I did, however, learn a lot about using Unreal Engine and hope to work on a new project in Unreal Engine 5 soon. I succeeded in getting the Arkwright scholarship.
