Projects

Rogue Virus

, Unity, C#, Java

As part of my senior inquiry project at Augustana College, I developed "Rogue Virus," a player-versus-player rogue-like game with randomly generated dungeons. The objective of the game is to achieve a higher score than your opponent, or if both players have the same score, the one with the fastest time wins. I utilized a game server programmed in Java, which was hosted on a Google Cloud virtual machine. You can view the project on GitHub at the following link: https://git.io/JMrxg.

Smart Car

, Java, Eclipse, JavaFX

As part of the CSC-305 software development course at Augustana College, I developed "Smart Car," a 2D video game in which players control a car on an endlessly scrolling highway and score points by staying alive as long as possible. To survive, players must avoid collisions with other vehicles on the road. I implemented the game using Java and the JavaFX library, utilizing sprite-based graphics and object-oriented programming principles. The project is available for review on GitHub at the following link: https://git.io/JMoJn.
