Nathan - Portfolio

Hi,

My name is Nathan. I'm a 29 years old professional software developer with a passion for game development.

I maintain nbnet, an open-source C network library, and work on an online BR game (check out my projects for more information).

I'm currently working as a game networking developer at Critical Force.

Timeline

Here is a timeline of my journey as a professional software developer/hobbyist game developer so far.

Click on the bullet points for more information.

~ Programming languages ~

Programming languages

Ruby

Five years of professional experience. I have been using Ruby to write services as well as websites using RoR.

C

The very first language I learned at EPITECH and the one I use today for game development.

C++

Three years of experience back when I was an EPITECH student. I don't use it for personal projects.

Lua

Used for game scripting and to create pico8 cartridges.

C#

Used for game development (Unity and Monogame) and application development (.NET and WPF).

Javascript

Used for web and game development. I wrote the nbnet library WebRTC layer in JS.

Java / Kotlin

Used to create android applications (Android SDK) and games (libGDX).

~ GameDev technologies ~

GameDev technologies

raylib

raylib has been my go-to game development framework for quite some time now. I love that I can use it with C and how simple and powerful it is. I have built a rudimentary game engine around it throughout my different raylib projects.

Unity

I used Unity on several mobile games during an internship back in 2013. In addition, I held Unity workshops for high school students back when I was at EPITECH. I also used Unity for a few game jams.

libGDX

libGDX was my first game framework. I used it to develop a Super Crate Box clone as a personal project and a Super Mario Bros clone as a school project, both running on android devices.

pico8

I used pico8 for a Global Game Jam entry, and I occasionally play around with it.

flecs

A C(99) Entity Component System I use for my game projects.

Photon Cloud

I used Photon Cloud with Unity for an online multiplayer mobile game prototype when I was an intern at Jogaloca Games.

~ Other technologies ~

Other technologies

Redis / MongoDB

Used profesionnaly for five years.

C# / WPF

Used professionally to develop desktop applications.

Android SDK / Kotlin

Used professionally to develop Android applications.

WebRTC & Low level networking (TCP / UDP)

Used to create nbnet, my open-source network library I use to develop online games.

Web development (RoR / HTML / Javascript)

Five years of professional experience working on RoR powered web applications.

Chip-8 emulator

A Chip-8 emulator written in C with raylib running in a web browser.

Online Bomberman clone

My first raylib game, a classic Bomberman clone playable online in a web browser.

Love, dust and tidying

Love, dust and tidying is a solo Global Game Jam entry on the theme "Home" made with pico8.
It's a two players game. Click to play it!

Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed is a very basic Super Crate Box clone made with libGDX.

Super Mario Bros. clone

A Super Mario Bros clone that runs on mobile devices. It was made with libGDX as a school project.

Police VS Thief

A casual mobile game made with Unity about chasing thieves with a police car: I worked on it during my internship at Jogaloca Games and released it on the Google Play Store.

Toy plane simulator

Another made with Unity casual mobile game I worked on at Jogaloca Games.

Police VS Thief

Toy plane simulator is the second casual mobile game I worked on during my internship at Jogaloca Games.
The game alternates between two types of levels: the ones where you have to pass through rings and the ones where you have to shoot down balloons.

While I was working on Toy plane simulator, a single-player experience, I was experimenting with a multiplayer online version of the game using Photon Cloud.

Unfortunately, neither the single-player nor the multiplayer versions were released.

Chip-8 emulator

A Chip-8 emulator written in C with the raylib library for rendering. The emulator has been compiled with emscripten and run in a web browser (see below).

The emulator comes with a simple ROM picker that let you select which ROM you want to run.

Controls

Chip-8 uses a 16 keys keyboard mapped as such:

1 2 3 4

A Z E R

Q S D F

W X C V

Actual controls depend on the ROM itself.
