Picture
As part of my job hunt I was asked to code breakout, as a competency test. I actually really enjoyed the project. As a student in game design it is often discouraged to write your own engine, as it takes allot of time and there are plenty of engines and tools out there to make your life easier. 

While Java is definitely not the best language for graphics  and games if you are just using the standard APIs. I still really enjoyed the process, so over the course of 4 days between life and work I pulled together this.

    As much of my experience is code focused, I wasn't really sure how to go about demonstrating my code skills in a web portfolio. After much trial an error I decided to use a blog structure to show code examples and discussions of them. If you have any feedback or ideas let me know.
