Space Defense was inspired by Asteroids with an added twist. The twist is that the player must match the color of an asteroid or enemy in order to destroy it. The game increases in diffuculty as the player progresses. The goal is to survive and achieve a high score!

The goal of this project was to develop a simple game from start to finish which would be published to the Google Play Store and learn more about the Unity game engine. A couple of things I learned while working on this project include writing modular scripts to avoid duplicate code, loading game assets efficiently via AssetBundles, and integrating Google Play Games Services for the leaderboard functionality.

Technologies used:

• Unity 2018.3.7f1
• C#
• Google Play Games Services: Leaderboard funtionality.
• Blender: Open source 3D modeling software.

Responsibilities:

• Game design and implementation.
• Asset creation using Blender.
• Integrating Google Play Games Services for leaderboard functionality.
• Writing automated tests to help catch defects.

Helping Hands - Android App

Decription:

Helping Hands is an Android application aimed to encourage users to help the less fortunate. Users may use this application as a journal or log of all the homeless people that they have helped. These entries can be seen by other users in the same location and allow them locate individuals that may need help. This application is a work in progress. Future goals for this application include a social functionality where users are able to send messages to each other and a better UX design.
