I'm attending my last undergraduate semester at the Colorado School of Mines (CS and EE double major), some interesting classes I'm taking: Computer Networks, Dynamics, Electromagnetism and Senior Design. In my Senior Design class, I'm working on a team of eleven to compete in the NASA Lunabotics Mining Competition. We have to excavate as much regolith as possible using a wirelessly controlled robot.
I'm currently working on a few projects, including:
A short collab piece for LegendaryFrog's RE Collab: Biohazard Chronicles.
A short piece for Kirbopher.
Something with Renaenae.
Power of Three Game.
This game has taken a lot of time and work, and is pretty much what I do with any spare time I have-so I can finally contribute something substantial to NG again.
I learned a lot about 3D programming in my Graphics class. The biggest project I had required me to create a raytracer, of which I made a report, available here: http://www.johnrichie.com/V2/richie/ra ytrace/raytrace_report.html
When I finished that class, I went right on creating an engine in Flash using AS3, and wrote another report describing my methods: http://www.johnrichie.com/V2/richie/3D Flash/flash3d.html
I started working on this engine In November 2008, and its been a bit over a year since I began. Once I had a substantial game going, I asked JohnnyUtah if he would like to work on a 3D Flash Tankmen game, to which he said yes. However due to his busy schedule this never surfaced. The 'Power of Three Summer Event' popped up and Kirbopher asked me if I would like to make a game with him-As a perfect chance to apply my hard work, I said yes, and we've been working on it for almost a year now.
I have hundreds of thousands of lines of code written so far for this game and I'm sure I'll go past a million by the time it's done (Yes, that includes '}' lines). At the bottom of this page is a picture of some in-game content, we don't want to give too much of the game away (theres a stick-figure in place of the main character), but we would like to get some interest going:
JohnnyUtah
looking good dude (im such a failure)
Pikanjo
Well, I'm proud of you. I look forward to TM3, and I hope we can eventually work on a project together (;
