Spark Engine is a graphic engine made from scratch using C++ 17 and OpenGL. Spark Engine has the ability to render 3D and 2D objects and its main object is to be used for videogames and graphics shows.
Among all its features we can mention the ability to render dynamic lighting, shadows, and a full integrated particle system. It is also capable to generate and render custom vegetation on an optimized way. Its frustum feature bring the user the posibility to only render what the user is seeing to improve the performance.
The engine can be used in Windows or Linux as a dynamic library for C++. The source code can be found in the open github repository.
Beast Brawl is a PC videogame made as my final year project with other five teammates. The objective is to capture the main item and keep it for the longest time possible while other players try to steal it.
It is in essence a racing game with power ups that will help you to either mantein or steal the object. It has an online mode to play with other players and compete to be the best beast.
The game has been made completely from scratch using C++ 17. That includes also the physics engine, graphic engine ,sound engine and network engine.
The Shadow Overtakes You is agamejam project done for the Global GameJam. It is a 2D top-down videogame where the player has to exit the mine as fast as possible to advance to next levels. While playing to escape, the light of his torch will decay over the time. The player has to be outside the mine by the time the torch is off.
It has a total random map generation with 2⁶⁴ permutations to bring the player the never ending experience. We focused on the light as the main mechanic to give the player the sensation of constant fear.
The source code is avaliable in the github repository and it can be downloaded for Windows, Mac and Linux or played directly on the browser from itch.io
One of the goals in this project is to facilitate the understanding about one of the many fields in the artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms. The way to achieve this goal has been through the visual representation of both execution and data.
In order to achieve this visual representation, the problem about teaching how to walk to a bipedal structure with the aforementioned genetic algorithms has been raised. First, an exhaustive investigation of the use of these algorithms has been carried out and similar projects made with them have been presented.
A graphic and physic engine have been necessary in order to be able to visualize the evolution and results. One of the best ways to understand the behaviour of something is beeing able to apply changes and study every parameter, by that, this tool develops counts with multitude of parametrization relative to the genetic algorithm behaviour.
Finally, this tool has been used to extract and detail the final results, that is, the solution to the given problem and the study of every parameter involved in the execution of the algorithm. This way, the user counts with the final results aswell as the posibility of using the tool to extract his own conclusions since the best way to learn something is by doing by yourself.
The source code is avaliable in the github repository and the full thesis aswell.
This project is awarded with honors as my final thesis for my degree in Multimedia Engineering.
