OpenGL Voxel Engine

GitHub: https://github.com/LucidSigma/Voxel-Engine

Developed a voxel (3D pixel) engine application with chunk loading and block placing/breaking. Integrates a custom-made 3D camera and 3D positional audio system with OpenAL. Demonstrates understanding of 3D graphics (with OpenGL), game engine architecture, linear algebra, and optimisation.

Technologies used: C++17, SDL2, OpenGL 4.6, GLSL 4.6, OpenAL 1.1

Vulkan Solar System Simulation

GitHub: https://github.com/LucidSigma/vulkan-solar-system

Developed a 3D solar system simulation with the Vulkan API. Integrates a custom-made 3D camera and planetary physics. Demonstrates an understanding of low-level computer graphics, game engine architecture, concurrency, hardware/memory management, real-time diffuse lighting, linear algebra, and orbital mechanics.

Technologies used: C++20, SDL2, Vulkan 1.2, GLSL 4.5
