Gameplay Programmer, AR/VR Enthusiast
Résumé
My name is Tanat Boozayaangool and I'm a gameplay programmer. I have a strong understanding of data structures & algorithms and I have a lot of experience with applying software engineering principles in game development.
I'm also interested in pursuing new ways to experience virtual reality and augmented reality.
Unified Reality is a platform that takes a VR game and shares it to other users through augmented AR and a projection mapping system.
This was completed as part of my internship with BitStudio (the team consisted of two other full-time employees and I).
I was in charge of the AR side of things. This included integrating iOS ARKit, reading networked data, and displaying a character's pose based on the VR headest and the controllers.
This project was featured at Techsauce Global Summit 2017.
VArm is a tool for medical profesionals to study anatomy using VR. This was a group project for a research studio.
I was one of the lead developers for the project and I worked on the code infastructure, delegated tasks, and facilitated meetings.
One of the features I worked on was a way to position each limb based on the rotation of its parent joint and to cause muscles to flex (by firing blendshapes).
This project was featured at Imagine RIT.
AR_Hack is a two-player, cat-and-mouse hunt, where one player with an AR tablet searches through a physical space, while another player on PC navigates a virtual world that maps to the physical one.
I'm leading the development of the project, but my responsibility mainly includes programming and game design.
This is an application on the HoloLens that generates a dubstep tune as the player keeps moving.
Check it out on GitHub!This is a game for the HoloLens that uses Vuforia's marker detection to let players physically tilt a paper to guide a ball through a maze.
Check it out on GitHub!This is a game where players must navigate through a pitch-black maze and overcome enemies using a gun that shoots out light. I was in charge of the code infrastructure and representing the map as a graph.
Check it out on GitHub!This is a Game Engine written in C++ that uses OpenGL to handle all the graphics. Features that are implemented in the engine include physics, collision detection, lighting, and much more!
Check it out on GitHub!This Global Game Jam '17 submission is a tower defense game where you build sand castles to fight off hermit crabs. After each wave, the ocean would wash up debris, forcing the player to adapt.
Check it out on GitHub!A simulation which implements Craig Reynold's steering behaviors (such as complex path following and flocking) to create agents acting out a typical scene from an MMORPG forest.
Check it out on GitHub!Made within 24 hours, this is a team-based game in which two players must coordinate to cast the correct spell and navigate the little mage through hordes of eneimes.
Check it out on GitHub!An interactive artwork based inspired from concepts of Gestalt Psychology. This black-and-white garden utilizes perlin noise to create life-like, soothing appearances and behaviors.
Check it out on GitHub!A platformer game where the player must drain color away from the enemy and combine them to solve puzzles and bring color back to this child-like world.

I attended GDC (Game Developer Conference) 2017 as an International Ambassador! Our mission is to help foster game development communities in areas with little support for game development. Learn more here.
Check out my blog here and read about what I have to say about my projects and the struggles I face in AR/VR development.
I used to write bi-weekly articles for Electronic Gaming Federation that explore ways to quantify Hearthstone cards and judge its effectiveness against one another.
I really enjoy using Adobe Illustrator, especially when I get money for doing so. You can view some of work through my Bēhance.
I overlook a bunch of students and help build a positive environment by guiding them towards appropriate resources (such as those for mental health concerns).
I answer questions and guide students through classes and assignments. Classes I TA for include: Data Structures & Algorithms II and Web-based Game Development.
