In my free time at the University of Hawai'i I wrote this suite of open source game
development software tools, because only a true game programmer would move to Hawai'i
just to avoid the sun and play with computers all day.
All of the game demos in this portfolio were created
using these tools. All code is licensed under the GPL and is available via Subversion
thanks to the nice folks at
SourceForge.net.

QBlock
-
QBlock
is a cross-platform rapid-prototyping game library written by me from scratch in
C++. QBlock leverages the power of popular game development technologies such as SDL,
OpenGL and Lua to create a complete game development package.

QModelViewer
-
|
QModelViewer
is the QBlock 3D model viewing tool. This tool allows artists to quickly examine
their models in an in-game environment to check animations, skin texturing, lighting, etc.
before submitting the model into the asset pipeline. QBlock supports MD2 (Quake2) and DAE (Collada) models.

-
QTiles (Coming Soon)
-
QBlock is a tile engine at its core, and what tile engine would be complete without a
fancy-shmancy editor? In its current state the editor is tethered to one of my top secret
game projects, so I am holding back on the public release version until I have a chance
to make it more reusable and accessible.
