Gathered requirements from lead designer Thomas Koeller to implement game interface, character AI, visual

Other Projects
January 2009 present
http://www.github.com/SheridanR

Various projects designed to test my abilities as a

programmer.

BSDL Advanced 3D raycasting engine written in ANSI C. Used software routines to render complex

scenes with varying floor heights, making cityscapes and other constructions possible. Moving actors are
represented with sprites that scale with distance.

VoxRender Loads 3D voxel models from .vox files and renders them in realtime to a graphic window.
All rendering is software based. Capable of rendering most 3D models at hundreds of frames per second
on modern CPUs.

Superbub Mario-esque sidescroller developed as an attempt to create a fast sidescrolling game engine
that could run smoothly on DOS-era PC hardware. Written and compiled in Turbo C with original code
to generate moving tile graphics. Includes sound, music, and a level editor.
