Summary:

Memory Match is an educational memory game. Compete against the computer to see who can find the most pairs. The player finds pairs of cards by flipping them over two at a time. This was actually pretty fun to work on. This is my first iPad game published. You can find Memory Match in the iTunes store.

Summary:

My First Movies: Animal Antics is both my first iPhone app and also my first Unity 3D app. You can download it from the iTunes App Store. Using the Unity iPhone Advanced engine, this app took about 3 weeks to make. It is a very simple video app to entertain kids. The part that took the longest was understanding how to build and work with the iPhone.

Summary:

Back in August or September 2009, I finished working on SpellDown. This is a game for kids in 2nd to 3rd grade. This was the first game I made for School Zone, from beginning to end. The point of the game is to compete, with either the computer or a second player, and get the high score by answering questions. It was bundled with Spelling 1-2, which I also worked on, and can be found here or at an Apple store. USA Today gave this bundle four stars in this review.

Background Info:

Ziggurat Six is a sci-fi action game created as student project while in Final Project at Full Sail.

I was in a development team of 5 students. We were Viking Jack. My official title was “Interface Lead”. As such I created the menu and HUD system. I also worked on some of the shaders using GLSL.
