Platformer Game 1.0.0.0 (Gameplay Video)

Download: https://goo.gl/UK3opA

Platformer Game is my very first game created in Python programming language. The project contains only about 500 lines of code and 8 Python modules (in alphabetical order): Counter, Game, GameObject, MapLoader, Pickup, Player, Sounds and Values. Class inheritance is implemented for some game objects such as player and pickup items. Values module has important game data like screen resolution and other settings. The project is compiled into stand-alone executable file using PyInstaller (a program that freezes Python programs/packages into stand-alone executables). The executable file can contain all required data files (images, sounds and music) and also DLL files. Game music requires libogg.dll, libvorbis.dll and libvorbisfile.dll. There is no need to worry about audio playback because all required DLLs are packed into the executable. The executable file size is less than 9 MB. Version info and custom icons can be easily set with a little piece of code for the compiled file. The game uses custom font and game graphics are created in Inkscape. The levels of this game are created in Notepad where each letter represents game object such as player, wall and coin. Well, this is only a small demo game which I made in 2 days. I hope you'll like it.

Controls:
W/A/S/D: Move
Space: Jump
Enter: Start game
Escape: Quit

Gameplay:
Collect all coins.

Space Scape 1.0.0.0 (HTML/JavaScript)

My another open source game project released on GitHub. Space Scape is originally created in C++ programming language but this is a basic shooter game version created in HTML/JavaScript. Sound effects and fonts are used for polishing the game. The game screen is responsive, which means that it can fit to different computer screens. I used combination of CSS and JavaScript to achieve this functionality. I hope this small project can be helpful to you in learning and creating something new. The project itself is not so complex, it has only around 600 code lines.

Gameplay:
Red enemy space ships are coming from the top of the screen. You have to destroy them to get score. The game level will be increasing after some time and more and more enemies will be coming down. Do not crash, you have only one life.

Controls:
W/A/S/D: Move
Space: Shoot

Chinese Memory 1.0.0.0 (Gameplay Video)

Download for Android: https://goo.gl/TUwrzW
Download for desktop: https://goo.gl/yS55xV

2D cross-platform game for desktop and Android devices created in Java programming language.

Memorize Chinese characters in 8*8 grid and try to find all pairs. This game allows you to learn basic Chinese characters a lot easier and faster. When you find all pairs, you can restart or start a new game.

I can proudly say that I have finally published over 50 apps on Google Play Store.

Piano 1.0.0.0 (Gameplay Video)

Download: https://goo.gl/XQRAx7

3D Piano created in C++ programming language with OpenGL.
Use Q-I for white keys and 2-9 for black keys.

The piano keys are modeled in Blender and exported to OBJ file format. I had to create my own OBJ loader. It is a tiny model parser but it can load vertices, uvs and normals. Model faces must be triangulated. Texture is also supported.

Rubix 1.0.0.0 (Gameplay Video)

Download: https://goo.gl/AtkxEf

Rubik's cube created in C++ programming language using OpenGL.

This is a standard 3x3 Rubik's cube. The biggest problem was 3D rotation because of gimbal lock. It was easily solved using matrices and quaternions.

Maze Builder 1.0.0.3 (Gameplay Video)

Download: https://goo.gl/kywTQV

OpenGL with UV texture mapping. All cubes are generated programmatically. So, here are the texture coordinates:

GLfloat CubeGenerator::texCoords[] = {
// Front
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
// Back
1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
// Bottom
1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
// Top
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
// Left
1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
// Right
0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f
};

Each cube face is made from two triangles.
