Programming Projects

The Shrimp Engine is a custom game engine built in C++ using the AZUL graphics API. Built over the course of about 20 weeks, the Shrimp Engine used object oriented design to provide necessary engine features in an optimized manner. Included with the engine is an arcade style tank shooter demo game. 

Shrimp Engine Features 

• Inverse Kinematics Solver with tools for visualization

• Collision system supporting simple collision volumes that implements tiered collision testing for optimization

• Terrain generation tool that supports image heightmaps and terrain collision   

• Game object class that allows a game object to only register for the engine services it needs 

• Game scene lifecycle that supports changing between levels 

• 2D sprites and custom text sprite fonts 

• Alarms system supporting multiple alarms 

• Several development tools including visualizers for the collision system and IK solver as well as the ability to freeze the engine and step through frame by frame

This project was a DX11 API written in C++. Using the API the graveyard scene is rendered in real time with a controllable camera. All shaders used are written in HLSL. Shader features include Phong lighting and distance fog effect used for darkness in the example scene. 

API Features

• Support for imported single mesh and multi mesh models 

• Generated terrain meshes using a greyscale image for heightmap

• Generated simple models

• API support for loading in different HLSLshaders 

• Skybox class
