Education

The undergraduate course focused on programming for games with no filler modules. Every year of the course involved studies in mathematics and physics, covering advanced topics in both disciplines. The last few years of the course included modules that required students to work as a team and also modules on the business practices in the industry.

My degree dissertation involved a study in the use of agent technology as means of improving existing AI techniques and how the current state of AI programming could benefit from the development of solid paradigms and APIs.

Techniques and how the current state of AI programming could benefit from the development of solid paradigms and APIs.

A terrain generator that uses a simple and slightly dated idea (slope lighting and faulting algorithms), but generates very good looking terrain at little cost.

Lighting is done using slope-lighting.

This technique is best employed when there's a need for a non-interactive yet good-looking and computationally cheap terrain, such as a flight-sim game.

A demo application that uses de Casteljau's algorithm for evaluating points along a Bezier curve to display that said curves.

It is also the starting point of the development of my own DirectX framework.

More work on the framework coming soon.

A remake of the Paratrooper game of old I did in my first year. It features managing memory issues and procedural generation of the game scene

A pitch for a game for one my courses. The requirement was not to write with the intention of carrying the idea to production(unless we wanted to personally), but to exercise our creativity and writing skills. I developed a pitch for an adventure game called Paspera, which was extremely well received by my tutors.

An investigation on how truthful is the fashionable idea that games are less creative.

I attended the First English Language School in Sofia, which traditionally gives students an excellent level of command of the English language. It also provides excellent tuition in History, Literature and Maths. My GPA was 5.5 (out of a maximum of 6)

C ++ / C - several years of experience, using the language in and out of my university course
Prolog – basic level of knowledge, using the language as part of my dissertation
ActionScript 2.0 – worked on several projects that use AS2.0 extensively

OpenGL, DirectX, Ogre

PC, PS2, GBA
