Newton Cradle Simulator

This project simulates various Newton cradles of varying physical properties based on a custom purpose-built physics engine. A user can create new Newton cradles and change their properties, as well as start and stop their simulations at any time. Clicking on a cradle allows the user to move it throughout the scene, as well as change its physics properties. Additionally, clicking on a Newton ball enables edititing of its texture. When utilizing a VR headset such as the HTC Vive, users can immersively experience their cradles and manipulate their environment using a VR controller.

App Name: Bonsai

The purpose of this program is to provide a serene, interactive game where the user can de-stress by taking care of a virtual plant. This is achieved by allowing the user to prune the plant by interacting with a chopper object, thereby ensuring the virtual plant’s observable growth.

Dynamic Trees:

This application supports the manipulation and modification of a tree-like model, as well as simulated wind-force. The model itself is composed entirely of a custom hierarchy of “TreeNode” and “TreeNodePrimitive” objects and associated colliders that rely on matrix transformations for positioning and orientation. It also supports custom scaling that allows a node in the hierarchy to be scaled without affecting the scale of its children, while still correctly offsetting their positions. Finally, the app implements a simplified wind simulation that affects all parts of the tree model’s hierarchy based on an input vector for wind direction.

Trebuchet Display

This project is a game that simulates using a trebuchet. It is a two player game where one player controls a trebuchet while the other player dodges the trebuchet’s projectiles. The trebuchet can launch different projectiles at the wall and can destroy pieces of it. The trebuchet must make the player fall off the wall within the given time to win. Otherwise, the other player will be victorious.

Solar System Simulation

This project is a simulation of some planets in our Solar System with the sun at its center. It lets the user control the movement of various planets, which themselves have orbiting planets, as well as a rocket ship. The user can move the planets closer to or further from the sun with a control box, and can use various keys to control movement of the ship once spawned. The user can also destroy any planet they wish, resulting in the destruction of any planet in it's orbit, and can destroy the ship upon collision with any other object, one of which may be a randomly moving alien ship if the user decides to spawn one.

Mini Golf

Mini Golf is a game where two players compete to be the first player to hit their ball into the hole. Players can create obstacles and objects within the level. A windmill is in the level, whose vanes rotate and can be moved around by either player using the mouse. Be sure to manipulate this windmill to hinder your opponent or help yourself!

App Name: 3D Asteroids

This project is a technical demo and recreation of the game Asteroids in Unity using 3D Computer Graphics concepts. Elements of the game were inspired by the Starfox game series. The game allows players to fly through a neverending asteroid field, requiring the player to either dodge or destroy the asteroids by firing the lasers.

Mission Objective: Survive the asteroid field as long as possible. Dodge and destroy asteroids to acquire points. The longer you survive, the more points you get!
The user pilots a starship that can move in 4 directions: left, right, up and down. The user moves to dodge and destroy asteroids, and cannot move outside of the camera bounds. The user dodges asteroids by moving and can destroy asteroids by firing a blaster that collides with them, breaking them into smaller pieces. The user receives points for destroying asteroids as well as a bonus multiplier for how long they survived.

Classic Chess:

A classic game of chess. This project is designed to be a two-player game of chess with all the usual pieces. A crane is used to move around the board, pick up, and put down the chess pieces using WASD to move the crane, and Enter to pick up and put down pieces, with LeftAlt+LeftMouseButton controlling the camera.
All chess pieces behave as they do in a normal game of chess, and are eliminated from the board if an enemy piece is placed on it. Do your best to plan ahead and come out on top!

App Name: Mouse Maze

A game in which the user positions and manipulates the walls of a mouse maze. The walls are positioned by selecting one of the 5 origin nodes on the four wall (Left, Right, Back, Front, or StartNode) and selecting a point within the maze to draw a (vertical or horizontal) wall to. Mouse click down and the shift key support translation for the wall selected from the dropdown menu. When done with wall manipulate, the Done button should be clicked. After the walls are positioned, the user controls the mouse with the left, right, up and down arrow keys to move the mouse through the maze, from its starting position to the cheese across the board.
