4E6 - Work in progress

Created Using:
Visual C++, Ogre, Ogrenewt, Newton physics library, HLSL, CG, CEGUI, Open Input System, Fmod.

Description:
This project is a combination of my code base fromDestinatum Engine and Ogre (open source graphics rendering engine). It was a requirement for a university assignment that I used Ogre to create a game of pretty much any description, so I combined the work I had already done on Destinatum engine into Ogre allowing me to have a framework set up and finally develop a game with what i have been developing for the last few years.

Arkanoid clone for the Xbox 360 and PC

Created Using:
C#, XNA game studio

Description:
Ok this is just a small thing i did last year as soon as the runtimes for the xbox 360 where released just for me to see how quickly i could throw something together in a language id never developed in (c#) and a platform i had never developed for.

This is approximately 5 hours work and is pretty much no-frills, has collision detection and plays as it should, a future revision will have a number of levels, proper ball physics and an interface.

Hi everyone. I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.
