This is a replica of the classic arcade game known as “Q*bert”. The player 2 extra lives and must hop on all the blocks to change its color. Q*bert has 3 enemies – Red ball, Purple ball and Coily. When the purple ball reaches the lowermost block, it transforms into Coily and chases Q*bert. Use the side colorful platforms for fooling Coily and the ally, Green Ball, to freeze everyone in the game.

  • Uses the Bezier Curves to handle the unique jump pattern of all objects.
  • AI keeps track of the player’s position and adjusts the path for finding the most optimistic path to that location.
  • Uses Unity PlayerPrefs to keep track of high-score.

This is a Physics project aimed to simulate the principles of Energy Transfer using force. The air hockey theme makes it easier to understand how transfer of energy from the paddle to the puck works. The player has the option to check the collision boxes as well as change the paddle orientation from horizontal to vertical (and vice-versa). The green side of the base scores points, and red side deducts points.

  • Custom Engine using SDL/C++ for Physics, Graphics, Audio, along with Collision and Event Managers.
  • Tracker for the physics elements – velocity, energy conserved and mass.
  • Ability to invoke ImGUI to modify parameters of the Physics Simulation: change the orientation of paddle, show collision boxes, and change the shape of the puck.
  • Video has my verbal narration parts that was used for submission of this project.

Castle Maze is a 3D Graphics Project made using the OpenGL API with C++ coding. Renders 3D Vector Shapes of Grid, Plane, Cube, Cone and Prism. The objective is to explore the maze, find the key and place it at the spot in the centre of the maze. The feedback is notified via the console that opens beside the main window.

  • Custom fragment and vertex shaders.
  • Loads the external textures and binds them accordingly with the correct parameters.
  • Different types of Lights used – Point, Direction and Spot along with shapes – grid, plane, cube, cone and prism.
  • Manually added the UVs for each each object and repositioned as per the grid design (top-view) of the maze and castle.

A 2D Slingshot game where the player controls the android to destroy the falling planets within 30 seconds. Colliding with the falling sun will result in game over. Touching the asteroid slows the overall time and gives the player enough time to aim at the falling planets and destroy them.

  • Utilizes line renderer of the Unity Engine to draw the line between the touch, drag and release of the input.
  • Added physics to control the force of the launch and immediately discards the force when colliding with a planet or sun.
  • Uses sprites for the explosion animation and not particle effects.

Defcon UFO (A.I.)

Defcon UFO is an A.I. project for that demonstrates the AI Behaviour – Idle, Patrol, Seek, Attack and Flee. The project theme that I used was of a space shooter where the player controls a spaceship along with 2 UFO’s that chase the player when in sight. The player can hide behind the planets and asteroid, with the option of destroying the asteroid. To win the game, destroy both UFOs without letting them flee when they are on low HP.

  • Uses a custom engine for each aspects of the game – Physics, Graphics, Audio, Collision and Events via SDL/C++.
  • The A.I. of the UFO works in a simple way – If in LoS, SEEK the player and when in the Detection Radius, ATTACK the player. Otherwise, stay IDLE or PATROL in the given points.
  • Implemented cool feature of ranged and melee attacks, where player can shoot laser projectiles and trigger a shield which acts as an offensive melee. Same goes for the UFOs, 1 is ranged while other is melee.

This is a replica of the classic arcade 3D Pinball which was used to demonstrate the 3D physics concepts in the Unity Engine. The player has to score as much points as possible by making the ball collide with different bumpers (active and passive) and bonus points for the bash-toy that comes at regular intervals. Control the given flippers correctly for this.

  • Makes use of different Unity physics components, such as Rigidbody, Joints, Physics Materials and 3D Physics functions of force & impulse.
  • All the shapes (except for the bash-toy) uses ProBuilder that were custom built for this project.
  • Uses physics laws such as Hooke’s law, projectile motion, kinematics and gravity.
