Elevator System

Object-oriented Design final project: using UML create use-case diagram, sequence diagram of an Elevator system.

This program come from a class project in Object Oriented Design, in which we designed an elevator system in UML. To use the program, just think of using an elevator. Select the buttons of the floor you want.

This class was a great boon for me. I learned was object-oriented design meant. I greatly improved my programming skills. The thing I learned the most was that an object takes care of itself.

System Analysis and Design

System Design for ordering system layout

The project was to design a layout from the given text. This was an in-class project, allowing 45 minutes to design a layout.

The class project did not require a program. Being that my group had the best design in the class, I decided to include it with my projects as a Java layout, using a GridBagLayout. I have recently updated the program, with working buttons.

Concentration Game

Personal project: study of events and graphics using Java.

I have always liked the game of Concentration. This is a java implementation of the game.

The cards are simple shapes, including a mock of Picachu.

Wack-a-mole Game

Personal project: study of events and graphics usings Java.

This was a major project for me, just after finishing one semester of Java Programming. In an effort to improve my skills and have something to put on my resume I created Wack-a-mole. I have updated the game once, making improvements, utilizing more Objects.

When I originally wrote this program. I did it as a procedural program, given my limited object oriented programming experience.. After taking an Object-oriented design class, I rewrote the game, using objects.

Worm Game

Individual project from Killer Game Programming book.

This game comes from Killer Game Programming book. I have modified it, to increase the worms speed with each level, and add a menu for easy and hard difficulty. This game uses my Old Style Game Framework to implement the code, which made it easy.

I had to make changes to my framework to make this work, since it doesn't use images.

Old Style Game Framework

Game framework based on the books I've read.

I have been reading several books on game programming, including Java game programming. As I read, I have been making an effort to develop a framework to help me write video games. This framework uses what I've learned. It is designed for making 2D games in Java.

The code is in sync with the my blog here: http://abbergames.blogspot.com

Song Writer

A GUI interface for writing the Sound Helix XML files.

This simple GUI allows you to create the XML files for use with the SoundHelix framework. It has input fields for the available parameters for Sound Helix. SoundHelix is a free, versatile and flexible Java framework for composing and playing algorithmic random music and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3. The project is hosted on SourceForge. SoundHelix is a sequel to AlgoMusic on the Amiga platform.

Scavenger

This is a clone of Pac-man created with the Old Style Game Framework

Scavenger is not your daddy's Pac-man. You place a scavenger in search for treasures among the junk yard. Move about the junk yard scavenging for salvage, but beware of the guard dog.

This project was build as a experiment into make video game using my old style game framework. To that end it was a success. It helped me improve my framework and my game programming skills.
