For the hackathon, I made a storybook that can come up with a new story, illustrate it, and read it aloud. The idea is to let the kids ask for something a little more specific than whichever book happens to be on the shelf. The app is React and TypeScript. It asks GPT-3’s text-davinci-002 model […]
I got a Kinect for my birthday, even though we do not have an Xbox. I wanted to try programming for it on the computer with the new Kinect SDK. Naturally, I made another version of Dodge. The interesting change is the input. Instead of moving a square with the mouse, the game takes movement […]
Here is Cube Quest, a game I programmed in Java for my 3D graphics class at BYU. I made a little video so there would be a record of the project outside the program itself. Working in 3D adds quite a few things that a flat game can mostly ignore. The camera has a position […]
This is my inverse kinematics solver for a BYU class project. I wrote it in C++ and used OpenGL for the graphics. The video is short, but it is a good way to show what the solver is doing. With ordinary forward kinematics, I choose the joint angles and work out where the end of […]
Another little clip from my 3D graphics class at BYU. This assignment was to show something moving, include a sharp jump or transition, and also include a smooth, curving transition. Five seconds is not much of a movie, but it is enough for the exercise. The interesting part is not just where an object starts […]
