Hi, my name is Darryn Downey, I am currently in my 4th year studying for a Bsc in computer science at D.I.T.
4th Year Projects:
Game Worlds
I am currently helping to create an RTS style game with a team of 4 students. We would like to be able to enter the game into the Imagine Cup, this mean that the game will have to incorporate teaching skills such as sharing and helping others.
The Game focuses on Islands, each player will get to control an island and will have to gain control over other islands.
Game Middleware
For this subject I am creating an explosion using ODE(open dynamics engine).

3rd Year Projects:
PacMan Clone
For this assignment we had to make a clone of the game pacman. To do this I used XNA 3.0, which uses the language C#.

Multi-player Game
The next assignment involved making a multi-player game of our own design. For this I worked in a team of 3.
Our idea was based on the TV show south park, and loosely followed the idea of the game smash TV. This game involved the same concepts of collision detection and chasing sprites. The keyboard allowed two players to run around and pick up a bonus. For each bonus they picked up the score would increase. The player also had to avoid teachers in the school and could destroy them using snowballs.
