Hi! Welcome to my corner of the internet
I'm a Newcastle based software developer, currently working for Cora Health. I'm currently mostly a backend developer working on Azure function apps in C# and our SQL Server databases. I've got a B.Sc in Computer Science from Newcastle University (first) and am working on a M.Sc of Advanced Computer Science.
The background of this page is being rendered dynamically by performing a Delaunay triangulation over a moving set of points in a canvas.
Click the button at the bottom of the page to view a 2.5D rendering demo à la Wolfenstein 3D (1992). It works best on a larger screen like a laptop or PC. Click around the edges of the scene to move. A more complete demo with textures and sprites can be found on my GitHub. This demo renders a grid based 2D map in a 3D projection by casting rays across the map and drawing vertical strips of varying height and colour depending on how long the ray travelled before intersecting a wall.
