Inner Alliance Inner Alliance is a tabletop turn-based tactical rescue game where players lead a team of specialists through a flooded environment in a top-down, XCOM-style format. Beyond promoting strategy and teamwork, it serves as an educational tool to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within military organizations. By leveraging interactive media, the game engages players in complex decision-making, emphasizing the importance of inclusive collaboration in high-stakes scenarios. I joined the project through the Archipelago of Design to transform the board game into a video game, taking on the full scope of programming. The team later grew to include talented designers and artists, enhancing the project’s development, which remains ongoing with promising progress. ...

During a game jam centered around the theme of light, I worked on a project that required a shadow detection system. You can check out the game here. The challenge was to detect when objects were in light or shadow and identify the closest shadow to an object. Initially, I thought render textures would be an elegant solution, but this approach turned out to be a mistake. Here’s why. The Initial Appeal of Render Textures The idea was to use a camera positioned above the scene to capture light and shadow data into a render texture. This texture could then be sampled to determine if an object was in shadow or to find the nearest shadow by analyzing surrounding pixels. It seemed promising because it provided a dynamic map of the environment, avoiding the performance cost of casting multiple rays while also letting us easily find the closest shadow. ...

Fractals are built off of a single pattern or formula, repeated constantly with smaller and smaller transformations. In glsl, this idea translates nicely into iterative coding with for loops. How to Make a Fractal I’ll be following kishimisu’s guide on shaders. Create a Shape First off, we can start by creating some base patterns that we want to design our fractal off of. In this case, we can start with a simple circle. ...
Intuition of 3x3Matrix Transformations Rotations can be achieved by locking the desired axes of rotation and transforming the rest of the axes by \(sin\) and \(cos\). 3x3 matrices can be used to bend the coordinate space in 3 dimensions, effectively allowing any desired transformations to objects in that space. As the coordinate space is being transformed, it’s helpful breaking up the matrix into its unit vectors $$ \vec{a} = x\begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\0\end{bmatrix} + y\begin{bmatrix}0\\1\\0\end{bmatrix} + z\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\end{bmatrix} $$ ...
After submitting my last osu fanart, I decided to make my own osu banner. My profile was looking pretty empty without one and I figured after all that work to put together my own rendition of Enchanted Love, might as well put those meshes to more use. I wanted to keep it fairly simple as I know I’m pretty limited in gif size and quality for it to work as a profile banner (otherwise if it’s too large, the auto-compression will convert the image into a static jpeg). ...
I’ve been thinking about drawing more casually, inspired by how others seem to sketch just for the joy of it, not tied to contests or big projects. I really admire how they just go with whatever they’re feeling, letting their ideas spill onto the page without worrying about a specific style. I’ve tried a few doodles myself, and it’s kind of neat to see them starting to share a certain look, even if I’m not sure what it means yet. ...
