Open Sourced Dungeon Crawler

So I decided to open source my dungeon crawler game that I made a while ago. My original plan was to develop it further and make it into yet another Xbox indie game available for download.

However time was always a problem while I was at university so I never got around to completing it. I hopefully one day however will return to complete a similar like game but I wont be making it in C# or reusing any of that code. (Except maybe the level generator, that was pretty incredible if do say so myself).

Feel free to use any of the code or any of the art.

The main components of the game which you will want to look at are.

  • The Level generator ( All levels are created through clever procedural techniques)
  • The particle effect system.
  • The character sprite animation system. ( All characters are created from individual parts. So you can cut off legs, arms,etc)

If you have any questions about the source code feel free to email me. Be warned though it is a bit messy.

Also I plan to open source a lot more of these small projects that I have worked on, in the hopes that it is useful to someone else.

 

Disparity Maps

For one of my university modules I was required to create Disparity Maps from stereo image pairs. I quite enjoyed doing this image processing as It was more enjoyable than the usual tasks I get given. I also got to use MatLab which I had never used before and actually quite enjoyed it, especially with all the quick features it includes.

Here is a few examples of what the project I was working on can do on a stereo image pair of the pentagon.

 

MatLab makes its fairly easy to plot 3D objects. Unfortunately however there is still some noise being picked up by the algorithm.

I will upload the code to GitHub at some point, It still requires a few tweaks however at the moment.

GitHub

Over the past few years I have been using Git for source control on my projects both personal and for university. I really enjoy using it and find it makes it much easier to manage larger projects and I think it would be useful if others can benefit from the code I have written as well.

I’m also now hosting my Laser System on it, as people request the code for it frequently (Also feel free to use it in your own project no need to ask for permission).
