Motion Planning in Dynamic Environments
How does one program a robot to navigate complex environments like a skatepark? For my CS326a project I aimed to develop algorithms that allowed robots to effectively conduct path planning in dynamic environments. My path planning software was able to generate a path that allowed a robot to find its way out of complex mazes where the only solutions required exploitation of environment dynamics. (i.e going back and forth up a half-pipe in order to build up enough speed to jump over a wall.)
The technique developed new methods for exploring the state-time space when building probabilistic roadmaps. For more information on how this worked read my article in ACM Crossroads.
The screens below show a robots path (pink) when given a goal to reach halfway up the ramp.

Emerald Tree Boa
A 3D Model I created of an Emerald Tree Boa. The modeling was done using MetaReyes. The textures are all procedurally generated. You can purchase the model on TurboSquid

A raycasting engine in Java
For my CS106a graphics contest entry I wrote a raycaster in Java.
Professor Patrick Young’s research project has gone awry – you must find and destroy all the bugs then find Prof. Young to win the game.

Breakout (CS 248 Project)
I decided to go a bit crazy with my implementation for breakout. I coded a simple OpenGL particle system. The ball is a meteor, the paddle is a giant fireball and the bricks explode when you hit them. Its a bit ADD.
