Software Home

The majority of programs posted here are hobbyist projects. There are a couple big projects that I try to update every now and again, and there's some small useless things that I make. Some of them I will make the source code available for download.


Some highlights are described below.  For more information on any project, click the 'more information' link, or hover your mouse over the Software link above for a full menu of programs hosted here.

AdventureEngine

AdventureEngine is a classic text-based adventure game engine, written in Visual Basic 2012 (currently being rewritten in Java).  It allows users to create their own adventure game and play other adventure games created by other people.

Celebrity Beatdown

Celebrity Beatdown is a Windows game that I've been working on for a while now, and it's modeled after the battle system found in Pokemon and other similar RPG games. It's still in development, so not everything will work correctly, but for the most part it's playable. At this point I'm just modifying the game engine and finding/fixing bugs.

Programming Experience

I started getting interested in programming at a young age (around 12 or 13), when I discovered how to make Batch Files that could make the computer do things and display messages.  From that, I became familiar with Visual Basic 4, which I used to make silly, often useless applications.  I learned early on out of books and from trial-and-error, and started becoming familiar with HTML and tiny amounts of C++.

I'm currently enrolled in Penn State University and am working toward a degree in Computer Science.  I do the vast majority of my programming in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013: My language of choice is Visual Basic, because of its simplicity and power. I also know some C/C++, Java, HTML/CSS, and I'm familiarizing myself with Linux, bash commands and scripts.
