Game Recreations

Recreations of games for educational purposes, programmed in C++.

Overview

Showcase of portal mechanics I implemented, followed by showcase of other games I recreated.

Portal Gallery

Portaling

Programmed portal gun UI, portal placement using surface normals, portal rendering with view of the other side, and portal usage.

Portal Physics

Programmed player physics integration with portals, including momentum conservation and addition, and correct orientation when passing through portals.

High Energy Pellets

Programmed pellet shooting, pellet-portal interaction, and pellet-receptacle interaction, including linked door objects that open when pellets trigger it.

Super High Energy Pellets

Programmed pellet transformation into super pellets, restrictive translucent walls, and the super pellet ability to go through these walls.

Enemy Lasers

Programmed enemy lasers that will track and kill the player, as well as kill enemies targeted by it.

Damage and Death UI

Created a UI indicator arrow that points towards the direction of damage, and bloody screen edges upon death.

Enemy Death

Added additional death conditions to the enemy, including fall damage and being hit by a fellow enemy that's falling.

Pellet-Enemy Interaction

Added additional death condition to the enemy when it's hit by a pellet, and added the ability for pellets to continue over the enemy corpse.

Other Games

Mario Kart

Programmed Mario Kart-style steering, spring camera movement, lap tracking, placement tracking, checkpoints, and enemy AI.

StarFox

Programmed flying mechanics, damage meter, shooting, HUD effects, and of course... barrel rolls.

Zelda

Programmed a Legend of Zelda map read in from a json file, a sword attack mechanic, and enemy pathfinding that updates in real time as terrain is modified.

Pac-Man Ghost AI

Programmed the 4 different types of ghost AI from the original Pac-Man game, adding debug lines and markers to demonstrate their targets.

Mario

Programmed Mario map-parsing from a json file, Mario's jumping and movement physics, basic enemy AI, and a flagpole win condition.

Frogger

Created Frogger with car and log movements, car speed-up mechanics, and win/lose conditions.
