Project brief

Name: Square Attack

Genre: Party

Platform: PC

This project is a result of an unit called Programming 3D Applications conducted while I was a student at University of Portsmouth. It was done using the DirectX11 SDK, as it was required and the chronological features added to the artefact are the following:

• Creating a basic window

• Creating the Devices and SwapChain

• Rendering a triangle

• Rendering multiple triangle, rectangles and cubes

• Depth

• Transformation: moving, rotating, scaling etc.

• Input

• Collison Detection

• Shooting Projectile

• Friction on the projectile

• Textures

• Controller Input

• UI System for Player settings

Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes for this module are as follows:

1. Implement and understand how DirectX code works at a fundamental level.

2. Demonstrate and construct practical programming knowledge of in a range of appropriate areas of DirectX.

3. Demonstrate practical software engineering principles in the creation of software.

4. Produce software modules to solve specific rendering and animation tasks given real-time rendering considerations.

All the progress can be seen in the following videos:
