Gameplay Programmer / Software Architect
As a programmer, I take pride and joy in implementing gameplay related systems.
Over the years I participated in 10+ gamejams and worked on a large variety of group and solo projects.
You can find the Tools I've used and some of my favorite works below.
Minor Experience
As part of my study, I am currently working on project Quantum Gaming.
The aim of which is to help out the Quantum lab at Saxion by providing software which allows for accurately simulation of Quantum Mechanics.
Assigned to this project along with me is my fellow programmer Arjen van Klaveren.
My responsibilities for the project include designing and implementing the software architecture in Unity and implementing gameplay systems.
Alongside this project, I am developing a utils library for Unity. The wiki for which can be found here.
This package is solely developed by me and is actively being used in the Quantum Gaming project.
This section contains some of my favorite projects I recently worked on.
As part of my minor, I collaborated with 6 other students on developing a 3D action rogue-like.
I took up the roles of Project Lead, Lead Developer, Software Architect and Gameplay Programmer during this project.
I greatly enjoyed working on this project, as it contained a large variety of complex gameplay systems.
My favorite part I worked on is the agent system.
This system unifies the underlying systems for all the enemies and the player.
A consequence of this is that all content developed for the player can also be used on the enemies with minimal effort.
A great example of this are the 40+ unique power-ups that were developed for the player, which we later used to quickly create unique and distinct enemy variants.
Building the systems which allow for a large variety of unique power-ups is an achievement I take great pride in.
Here are some examples of the power-ups we created:

The Wave Collapse Function Algorithm is an algorithm used for procedural generation.
My Wave Collapse Function Algorithm generating a 2D environment
As a personal project, I created a version of the Wave Collapse Function Algorithm.
The above image shows every step the algorithm takes, below is a version which generates an environment in "chunks" and one which generates a 3D environment.
