Rendering
OpenGL-based rendering with custom mesh generation and GLSL shader work, including block and entity presentation.
case study / software engineering
Torin
An ongoing Java/LWJGL project spanning rendering, world generation, entities, structure tooling and custom editor workflows.
01 / overview
Software engineering beyond the web stack
Torin is a custom Java/LWJGL project involving a growing engine and game-world codebase. It provides a useful counterpoint to the web projects by requiring direct work with rendering, world state, entity behaviour and editor tooling.
02 / engineering focus
World generation
Procedural world systems, biomes, structures and material compatibility are developed as interconnected systems rather than isolated features.
Entities & interaction
Entity movement, animation and interaction systems are integrated with the world and rendering layers.
Developer tooling
A dedicated structure editor, selection system, copy/cut/paste operations, rotation, undo/redo and console commands support content creation inside the project.
03 / what it demonstrates
Torin demonstrates the ability to learn and work across a substantially different technical domain while maintaining the same emphasis on structured code, incremental development, debugging and tool-assisted workflows.
