Responsibilities / Contributions:
- Final 2D Rendering
Via any non-hardware means available within C# and API.- Map Editor
I tried to make map creation as rapid and intuitive as possible for this editor. This was not easy but I'm happy with the current build.- Game Concept
The story behind the game, plot, content and so on.- Project Coordination
Keeping everyone on track.

Responsibilities / Contributions:
- World to screen coordinates
Map 2D map coordinates to 3D, then back to 2D screen coordinates.- Camera and movement
The camera is close related to the world to screen transform. The game has a buildt in FPS camera, that will move by using keyboard and mouse.- Culling
The game uses a costum culling method that inherits many properties from a quad tree. This algorithm is very fast, but will cost us more memory.- General math
There is a lot of complex math behind a 3D engine. I am responsible for all math behind FOV, Collision, Coordinates and so on.
