Centurion (Maximus Winnus) - UK

With 9 bonus features, this was, by far, Inspired Gaming's biggest game to date. My contribution was to implement the underlying maths for the entire game, ensuring that it complied with the strict regulations of the betting industry.

Nerik The Slug

To create this hyper-casual endless runner, I performed the roles of Game Designer, Developer, Graphic Artist, Sound Designer, QA, and (a rather rubbish) Marketer!

I adapted and optimised a flocking algorithm to create shoals of fish for this relaxation app.

Guitar Synth

Inspired by techniques used for image processing, I developed an innovative algorithm for analysing the frequency spectrum produced when playing a guitar chord. This allows this app to act as a virtual musician, accompanying a guitarist in real time with soft-synth sounds. I used the Csound programming language to create my own patches.
