Tomas Olander Programmer

I'm a 20 year old programmer from the province of Dalecarlia, Sweden.

Currently studying at PlaygroundSquad after having graduated from Leksands Gymnasium in 2009 with an IT/natural science orientation. Well versed in C++, PHP and DirectX/HLSL.

In my free time I tend to work on personal projects and play pretty much any PC game I happen to come across.

 

Source code and/or executables for the projects below can be provided on request.

 

School Project 1: Eggnappers

I wrote all of the game code being the only programmer on the team. This included a combined outline shader, real time particle editor, the implementation irrKlang for sound effects and music playback, a configuration program and gamepad/keyboard support.

Eggnappers won the Gamer's Choice award at the Swedish Game Awards 2010.

School Project 2: Dynasty of Zealots

I was the lead programmer on this project. Some of my contributions included a fully-fledged level editor with triggers and entities, Lua scripting along with an entity dictionary system, an instance shader with a helper MEL script for XML exporting of instances, FMOD integration, a post-processing bloom shader, and overall object management for the codebase itself. The original "Eggnappers" particle editor also received a revamp.

School Project 3: Talon's Reach (PSP)

This was my first time working on a PSP game, and the overall experience was very valueable in terms of learning how to make an efficient game on fairly limited hardware. My main contributions consisted of an optimized particle renderer, a 3D sound engine, the level loading mechanism, as well as the overall design for the codebase itself.
