This section contains various examples of my smaller projects, some of which include highly commented source code.

DirectX API Demo1 Executable - 313Kb

My first DirectX 2D Direct draw program written in C. Shows a sprite bouncing around the screen.
   

OpenGL Demo1 Executable - 306Kb Source Code - 121Kb

My first OpenGL 3D program written in C. A demo program to show the basics of the OpenGL API and what it is capable of. Effects covered include Filtering (Linear and Mipmapping), Simple Lighting, Alpha Blending (Transparency) and a technique used to receive input from the user via the keyboard.
   

DirectX CDX Demo 1 Executable - 485Kb

DirectX demo written using the CDX Library with the following features:-

Parallax scrolling (11 layers for background and about 15 for the weird "worm" thing. Also demonstrated are text display, input from the user and the use of simple sine wave equations to create the circular movement of various objects.
   

X-Torsion MEGADEMO (OpenGL) - No Src or Exe yet, work in progress.

So far I have written the code that displays a 3-dimensional font on screen and environment textures it, giving it a gorgeous shiny look and added simple lighting (see the tiny screenshot to the right).

I've even coded a simple, yet nice looking particle system. (see below)

This particle effect, I am fairly proud of :) It creates a sorta tunnel effect, basically what you see here, is all you get at the moment, although I'm thinking of adding colour cycling of the particles and err, other stuff that I ain't thought of yet!

You got any cool art work or music that you have created yourself? I'd love to 'stick' it in this megademo somewhere :) If ya have, please contact me, my ICQ number is 76370323. If you send me stuff, your name will appear in the credits at the end of the demo.

The main goal of this project is for me to put in as many different techniques and effects as possible. I'd like to add shadows, loading of 3D shape data, erm, perhaps more particle systems (as I think they look so cool), reflections, bump mapping, I'd like the effects to be timed with some music and I'd also like to put in a landscape, some cool rendered images, Basically, I want this to be my biggest small project yet :)

Once completed I will upload the source code to this site for all to download, as my code should be easy to figure out as, so far, I have nearly commented every single line!!!
