Viking Pinball - DirectX 2D C++

The soldiers of Asgard must take up arms for glory and honor in Odin's name. You are a warrior and you must use your shields to protect your village from the dragon's fireballs.

We have taken a unique approach to our pinball title. We thought, "Why does the hole have to be at the bottom of a pinball machine?" We have reinvented the game! The hole is now at the center, and your paddles surround it on all sides. We kept many traditional pinball elements including pins, targets, bumpers, gates and multi-ball action.

Penguin Chucker - iPhone/iPad - C++ DragonFire SDK

The penguins of Antarctica have become bored with their meager existence, and have decided to spice things up with some penguin games. With the help of some abandoned equipment by an Antarctic expedition gone wrong, they have created their own new sport called Penguin Chucking. Using a makeshift slingshot, they fire each other down their native ice floes to the edge of the ice shelf. The closer you get to the edge, the more points are awarded. But, this is the wilderness; overzealous shooting from their teammates can land an unfortunate penguin in the icy waters, where Orca is just waiting for his next meal. To increase the fun factor, they have invited their friends the seals to join in.

Built for the iPad, and then scaled down for the iPhone, Penguin Chucker is built using a C++ windows compatable library called DragonFire SDK.

Windows 7 Phone - C# XNA

Our Windows 7 Phone class was an interesting experience. We set up the class just like a real video game company. We had four programmers, three artists and two designers. I was elected to the role of Lead Programmer. Our goal was to push out five complete games for the windows 7 phone, and we only had two weeks to do it. How would we accomplish this? We decided it would be best to create our own engine that all of our games would build upon. Our common engine included an input system, a screen manager and an audio player. For the common engine, I wrote the input model code.

Note: All games require XNA game studio to unpack. XNA can be downloaded here.
