C++

Summary

Year 1 TB1 2018:

Introduced to C++, further using C++ to develop a medium-complexity 2D game and a simple 3D game using an in-house game engine.
Developed practical skills in regards to application of C++ programming to physics/graphics applications
Developed a 2D game prototype based off a team-produced design concept

In 2018, I was introduced to C++, learning the basics of the language. Multiple projects were developed throughout the year, including two 2D games as well as a basic 3D game. Overall, my practical skills were developed through applying C++ to developing simple physics/graphics games and by developing a game based off a design concept

Year 2 TB2 2019:

Wrote game code for special effects
Implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms (navigation and pathfinding, state machines, decision trees, etc.)
Implementation of 3D graphics and shaders using OpenGL
(unity and unreal)
Develop game code from an engineering perspective both individually and in groups
Implement robust, tested code using higher level 3D games libraries and engine
Program having an awareness of time/memory resources used by algorithms

Year 3 TB2 2020:

Learned methods to allow for efficient troubleshooting and debugging of code
Ability to determine code performance, through monitoring and measuring
Improvement of code performance, through low and high level optimisation, including the principles of parallel programming through the use of OpenMP and MPI, with an implementation of a hybrid approach.
- Optimisation through parallelisation of a ray-tracing rendering application
- Practical application of OpenMP and MPI to the development of an application which is similar to Game of Life, which involves the use of cellular automata
Practical application of C++ within the UE4 game engine for my final year project.
Use of CUDA for GPU programming
