Pins on a map
A postcode finder, that places pins on the British Isles map following the National grid system measurements.
It parses an XML file that stores parameters such as background colour, regions colour, and information of the points (x, y, name, colour, size) and displays them accurately on the map.
TIP: Rollover the pins to get information about the location they point to.

Archaeological VIZ
An implementation of a 3D terrain representation of a greater area around an excavation site, allowing the user to navigate and interact with the virtual world. Stereoscopic vision using shutter glasses has been also implemented.
Archaeological VIZ was developed as part of my MSc Project.
Written in Visual C++ using OpenGL.

Table Football (Foosball)
Another project from uni.
A 3D table football simulation game that incorporates collision detection (ball/ray intersection with planes and cylinders) and physical simulation (gravity, friction, acceleration) techniques.
The user interacts with the table by rotating and moving the rods as in a real table football.
Written in Visual C++ using OpenGL.

Raytracer
This is a project that I developed back at uni (2002).
It is a raytracer that parses a scene file (i.e. scene.txt), which includes properties of the screen, the camera, the lights, reflections and objects, and renders the final scene using OpenGL.
It supports spheres, planes, cylinders and triangles.
