Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) is a condition that limits a person's ability to differentiate between colours of visible light. In many video game genres, colours are used as a communicative device to give information to the player. This may put those with a CVD at a disadvantage because they are less able or unable to fully understand the information being given to them. Daltonization is a process that, when performed on an image, makes the colours more easily identifiable to those with a CVD.

The goal of this project was to create a method of colour correction to remap colours in the shader pipeline that makes the images displayed on screen more easily distinguishable to a Colour Vision Deficient viewer. Each colour remaps to a unique output colour such that there is no adverse affect on the ability to distinguish between colours on screen.

This was an animation system built to streamline the process of implementing both skeletal and frame based 2D and 3D animations. The system handles each step of implementing animations into a project by unpacking the skeleton and animation data. Then at runtime it manages the hierarchical skeletal structure at updating according to the current animation states.

The system has animation blending and a blend tree solution to allow for complex animations to be transitioned between or combined. Also included is a skeleton debugging tool that highlights the bones of the skeleton to reveal any errors in the animation data.

Beat 'Em Mop is a 2D arcade style fighting game where you play as the janitor who has had enough of his job and decides to take out his rage on the co-workers around him all while keeping the place spotless.

Beat 'Em Mop was developed as part of a 7-person group project over the course of 4 months. I was the game's programmer and was responsible for designing the movement, combat and enemy behaviour.

The biggest challenge through the project was the combat system. Early implementations had the player deal damage instantly to any enemy standing in front of them and was sufficient for beginning stages of development.

Once the first pass animations were implemented, a key frame system was developed such that the attack hitbox could be repositioned and resized for each frame so that they matched the character model.

This was my first full game project and was developed using the SFML library. An arcade shooter with physics based combat where the player collects valuable minerals while fending off enemy ships. The game features a collision system, an animation system, user interface and scene management.
