Space Shooter Game Demo
Another attempt at a Space Invaders-style game, but this time in C++ and with 3D graphics using OpenGL. A somewhat more complex game with regenerating shields and weapons using energy and stuff. Actually worked out to be a bit more like Star Fox than Space Invaders. I actually wrote this as a final project for a Computer Graphics course. The demo version shown here was hacked together in about two days with minimal sleep. The final build was completed three days later, though I spent a lot of that time working on the report rather than programming new stuff.

First Generation Completed Set:
The first generation was written mostly in grade 10. They’re pretty simple games, but they’re finished, if occasionally buggy.

Point Defense
A tank shooting game. There is a known problem with the arrow keys losing sensitivity due to focus being placed on interface buttons. Just try clicking on those buttons to restore functionality…
…
Space Defense
Kinda like Space Invaders, but easier. Just point to aim, and click to fire.
…
Space Pong
It’s Pong! Except with a pointlessly flashy space background. The A.I., may or may not be unbeatable…
…
Second Generation Previews:
The second generation consists of games I started working on in grade 11 but never got around to finishing. At this point, I have very little interest in revisiting Visual Basic as a programming language, now that I’ve moved on to Java and C++.

Conquest Space
My attempt at a Master of Orion-style turn-based space strategy game. It’s mostly the intro and interface. Some of the sounds seem to be terribly out of sync in Vista. Also, MIDI files are based on an old soundfont, and may not play properly. You can click to skip portions of the admittedly overdramatic intro.
