⚙ Custom Engine & Graphics
Custom Engine & Graphics Projects
Platform-independent rendering engines, procedural generation systems, and 3D graphics assignments — all built from scratch in C++ or hosted as live interactive demos.

My Contributions
Engine Architecture
- Designed and implemented core engine structure and systems framework.
Platform Abstraction Layer
- Built platform-independent rendering support for cross-platform compatibility.
Rendering Pipeline
- Implemented advanced rendering pipeline and graphics optimizations.
Real-Time Game
- Built a complete real-time game within the engine to demonstrate capabilities.
Modified an existing graphics engine to support platform-independent rendering
through abstraction interfaces that decouple platform-specific APIs. Designed and
developed a Flappy Bird–like game within the engine to validate rendering,
input, physics, UI, and audio integration. Implemented core gameplay systems
including custom physics, collision detection, object scaling, and event-driven
audio, and leveraged these systems to build responsive mechanics such as continuous
forward movement, procedurally spawned obstacles, and player-controlled flight.
Live Demos
Interactive Graphics Projects
3D graphics assignments and procedural generation experiments, playable in-browser via GitHub Pages.
3D Graphics Projects
A series of 3D graphics programming assignments covering shaders, lighting models,
geometry, and rendering techniques. Built progressively over the course, each
assignment adding new capabilities to the renderer. All viewable live in-browser.
↗
Procedural Generation
Procedural generation experiments exploring noise functions, terrain generation,
dungeon layouts, and generative systems. Interactive demos showcasing different
algorithmic approaches to content generation.

Procedural Dungeon Generator
Final capstone project for the Expressive Computation / Generative Methods course
at UC Santa Cruz. A generative interactive experience combining multiple procedural
techniques developed throughout the semester.
