Professional Game Development
I was the sole developer on every single project except where noted. The art and animations were created by another individual.

This was the first product. As th sole developer I created the game loop and methods for switching between content. The content being the menu system and the levels. This product exposed some limitations with Flash AS2. Those being the limitation with the script engine where it is unable to handle processing large datasets and the other is when you load a swf, the new swf overwrites the stage with the swf's content. this makes it difficult to have code in the swf's for the graphics. This product took two months of development time.

This product was a refinement from lessons learned from the first. This product implemented a new design where it loads all assets from xml files. So I created an xml loading class. These xml contained information, which is the location of the swf to be loaded, the name of the asset, the location for the asset, the type of the asset, and the actions the asset can preform. The code structure had a main, which contained the game loop and the xml loader. The class structure for the assets; the first class is the State, which is the menu or the play state or levels, etc. Then there is the

Most of this work was refinement of the game engine from the previous project. Since that one wasn't completed when I started this project I still had to complete some of the design of the core engine. But once that was complete all I had to do was create the xml files and derive classes the menu state, play state, the win/lose state, and the player and enemy types. The AI in this game was a simpler version of the previous where it uses statistics to generate a response. This AI only had two actions it could preform and they were based on a success failure percentage.
