Custom Call of Duty Projects | C++ Development

When I was only around 13 years old I discovered you could make custom maps for both multiplayer and the game mode, Nazi Zombies, on Call of Duty: World at War. This was only available on the PC. I bought a copy and installed the official tools that Treyarch and Activision use themselves. This was the first time I had ever done any programming or designing for a video game. I made multiple custom maps for people to play and started to program in C++. To the left is an example of one of my maps, which is also my most popular.

Bork Invaders - A Space Invaders Remake | Java Development

Here is a project I created in my first year of university, to the right is a screenshot of the game. It is a modern twist on a classic game with the defender as Gabe The Dog, the invaders as Pepe The Frog and other custom sounds and images to make it more appealing. The game is programmed in Java using Processing, an open source computer programming language and integrated development environment (IDE).

After completing the project for university I vastly improved the game in my spare time, updating all textures so they are in high definition. I also plan to add extras such as a full HUD and adding a leaderboard to the game.

Sliding Tiles Game | HTML, CSS & JavaScript Development

In second year, I was part of a group to help create a web page for a university project. The project was to create a sliding tile game with features requested by a particular client. These include things such as categories of pictures that can be selected as well as a custom upload which the user can choose for themselves, a timer, scores and much more. The game is programmed in JavaScript.

I worked on features such as being able to select the correct images, allowing custom uploads as well as the HTML structure and CSS.

Booking System | JavaScript, PHP & SQL Development

A few years ago I created a booking system for one of my relatives who was having problems with their current system. I successfully created a calendar showing all current bookings, both confirmed and unconfirmed with an option to book a date. The system has conditional checks such as overlapping dates. Once a booking is submitted an email is sent to the admin which can be confirmed through a unique URL and updates the calendar accordingly. There is also an admin interface that allows bookings to be deleted or updated. This project has been maintained and updated since its initial creation.

Jungle Run | Unreal Engine & C++ Development

Another project in my 3rd year of university was to create a game in Unreal Engine with multiple game mechanics. I came up with the idea of Jungle Run. The aim of the game is to collect a crystal guarded by secret traps on a remote island in the middle of the ocean. The game is very detailed as uses many features within Unreal such as a level sequencer, particle systems, ambient sounds and a vast amount of blueprint scripts.

Phaser Code Camp | Phaser.io Framework Development

In my 3rd year I was in a group, tasked with making an interactive web game that helps teach children, ages 7-12, the basics of coding. The first level teaches about variables, in particular integers, as well as game mechanics. From there it goes on teach about other variables such as booleans and strings. The game is made using a JavaScript library called Phaser.

Unfortunately the project was shut down on Heroku due to inactivity.

Online Forum Development Project | PHP & SQL Development

This is a project that I have been working on in my spare time. I started off with very little knowledge of back-end development from my time at university. However, throughout this project I was able to learn lots of techniques in SQL and vastly improve my knowledge of PHP. The forum has a vast variety of features such as a login system with customisable profiles and text editors for posting threads and replying to others. The current layout is designed for users of a Minecraft server. The site has gone through lots of re-designs and updates in order to be maintained.

Minecraft Server Plugins | Java Development

I own a Minecraft server which runs Paper. I wanted to create some plugins to better manage the server. I initially created a plugin called StaffChat that allows staff to talk privately in-game simply by typing @ followed by their message.

My next plugin was called PlayTime, this helped to keep track of a user's playtime on the server with several commands. User's can check their own playtime and it displays the date on which they first joined the server, they can also check other user's playtime. I also integrated a rewards chart where user's would rank up based off their playtime. Lastly, I created a command that displays a top 10 leaderboard.
