Here are some of my most remarkable projects. You can see a full list of my projects here!

A gif of an FPS game where the player is shooting a robot, blasting its armor

Shoot at the armored robot to blast its armor and see through it! In this UE4 project I showcase dynamic damage over meshes triggered by player attacks in real time, achieving a very satisfying feeling of impact for the guns! Check the code on Github !

[proto-ecs] The Render Foundation 2024-12-22
In this article, I'll share how we structured and implemented the Render API, and how the render thread integrates into proto-ecs's architecture and entity system. We use a dedicated render thread, PODs to simplify resource management and double buffering.
[proto-ecs] Entity Allocator 2024-05-13
A thorough explanation of how we implemented entity allocation in Rust. We start with simple Generational Indices, and we explore several interesting Rust features to implement a complete entity allocator!
[proto-ecs] Data types registration in Rust 2024-02-05
When you write a game engine, you usually want to allow users to create custom data types to implement behavior. And sometimes you need some sort of reflection system to collect some metadata about those new data types. In languages with limited reflection features like Rust and C++, this can be quite a challenge. In this article, I will explain how we approached this problem using macros in Rust in proto-ecs
