Tic Tac Toe (Windows Phone 7)

Fri, 20 Jul 2011 13:17:10 GMT

This very basic version of the classic game Tic Tac Toe is designed for 2 players.

The app was coded in Visual Studio 2010 in C#.

The game is played by two players, X and O, who take turns marking the spaces in a 3x3 grid. The player who succeeds in placing three respective marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.

The game has progressed from a basic version with a splash screen and single game screen (v1.0), to a slightly better version with a main menu, about screen, and instruction screen.

Asteroid Attack (Windows Phone 7)

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:30:32 GMT

This is my first mobile app, created for the Windows Phone 7. It is a remake of a college project (Asteroid Attack) that i ported to the Windows Phone 7.

Much of the code was cleaned up and all the graphics were made from scratch in photoshop.

The app was coded in Visual Studio 2010 in C#.

The objective of the game is to avoid as many asteroids as possible. Every asteroid that hits your ship will remove some health, depending on the size of the asteroid.

Your score will increase with each asteroid successfully dodged.

This app is still in the development stage and has not been uploaded to the app hub marketplace yet.

This project was a group project to create a game in C# using XNA Studio.

We were required to create a 2D game using the XNA framework. We were tasked with coming up with our own idea for the game and could make a copy of an existing game if we wanted.

This was a joint project and counted towards final marks for semester one of second year for the course Multimedia and Computer Game Development. This project was written in the C# programming language using XNA Studio.

I created this basic fruit machine game shortly before my final exams for semester one of first year for the course, Multimedia and Compter Games Development.

This was an extracurricular project that i embarked upon in my spare time.

This short game performs the basic actions of a Fruit Machine. The player begins with 100 coins and can thus far, only place a maximum bet (5 coins). This game does not have any GUI elements, but can be run in BlueJ.

This started out as a small and basic MP3 player but has since grown into a media player for video and music files.

This media player was created using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and is programmed in C#.

There is now a playlist with this media player where you can import multiple files. In order to play a track just double-click on it in the playlist.

Irish Lotto Simulator

Fri, 11 Mar 2011 09:45:00 GMT

I created this basic lotto simulator during the summer break between year one and year two of the course, Multimedia and Compter Games Development.

This was an extracurricular project that i embarked upon in my spare time.

This short program will take the users age as input and, based on a standard life expectancey, will calculate the number of possible draws left. It will then assign the user a set of lotto numbers and begin simulating a lifetime of lotto games.

The output will include all the times the user got a winning combination, the total winnings, the amount spent on playing the lotto and the profit / loss.

This program does not have any GUI elements, but can be run in BlueJ.

World of Warcraft Fansite

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 08:40:00 GMT

I was playing World of Warcraft for 1.5 years. During this time i created a Guild within the game.

To showcase the rules of the Guild and any relevent information i created a fansite.

This site started as a basic site for storing the rules of the Guild but quickly developed into a full blown website. I stopped updating the site in September 2009 as i returned to college as a mature student and cancelled my subscription in order to concentrate on my studies.
