Being a computer science grad I have a lot of fun projects in multiple languages that I would like to share here.
Picture Generator
This is a picture generator made in JavaScript that takes in a picture then starts to randomly place colored objects until it closely resembles the object. It randomly nudges objects on the screen in random directions and changes their color randomly and after each cycle it tests to see how close it resembles the sampled image. If the new image is closer than the previous image it has stored then it uses that image as the new baseline. You can check out how it works here.
Height map and Water shader
For this program it uses a height map to make terrain off of a sheet of perlin noise and then I made a simulation of water by using a plane and putting a shader on it. This shader was also rendered in unity and written in HLSL. The water reflects the skymap as well as refracts the vision so the more horizontal you look the more reflective it is. Sadly the code for this was lost with a hard drive of mine that was lost.
Constrained Terrain Generator
One of my latest projects was in JavaScript and it was a terrain generator that you could constrain how many mountains or lakes you wanted in the terrain. I did this with a team of 4 and I was the design lead as well as producer. I ended up doing the generation of the of the land using perlin noise to generate the land and a Gaussian curve for the mountains and lakes, then added the two landscapes to create something wonderful. If you would like to check the project out click here.
Cyberpunk Shader scene
For this project I was a part of a team that made a cyberpunk scene in unity using HLSL. I was the person who made all the assets involved with the rain, while I could have done the rest as well the work was split up so we could finish this project quickly. The rain is a shader that is a multilayered and has particles for when it hits the ground and a haze to make it feel a bit heavier of a rain. To see a video of the action you can find it here. The documentation is found here.
