HeliFlyer v0.1.8 - My First openGl game

Download

This is my very first openGl game. I programmed it half way through my second year of University as part of some course work. The aim of the game is to fly through all of the rings in the sky as fast as possible and at the end your score is recorded into the high score list. The helicopter is controlled using the wasd keys and the mouse or arrow keys.

I put a rudimentary physics system in that I designed. It is far from perfect but it gets most of the collision detection correct except for some instances on the steep mountain in the middle. Just a basic sphere collision detection is used for the rings in the sky as I wasn't confident to do anything more advanced.

It is made in c++ using glut for window generation. Glut is starting to show its age a bit but for this it was fine.

Refound Glory 2008 - A gaming clan site

Put a link here

This was the 2008 version of a website for a Battle Field 2 gaming clan called Refound Glory. This websites most striking feature is the depth of field style blur effect used on the background and foreground "windows." This was done by using two images, one blurred and one not blurred, for the background and postioning them absolutly at 0,0. This style resembles the new Windows7 Aero style but was made before Windows 7 was released.

The website featured my own custom built forums using mySQL for database managment and used php thoughout to give a seamless transition between the forums and the site proper. There was also a live updating Teamspeak server and Battlefield server tracking on all pages.
