About me

My name is Adrian, and I develop apps for Xbox 360, Windows Mobile 6, and Windows Phone 7. I'm currently studying for a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne. My major is Computer Science.

My language of choice is C#. Recently, I've been developing applications for Windows Phone devices. My most recent app, Metro Melbourne, won second prize in the Victorian Government's "App My State" competition. Here are 3 of my most recent projects:

[2009] NextWar: The Quest for Earth (Xbox 360)

A strategy game for the Xbox 360. The goal of the game is to construct towers along a path to prevent enemy spawns (or "creeps") from reaching your headquarters.

I developed this project in my free time during the Christmas holidays in late 2008/early 2009. It was a port of the PC version which won first place in the SwinGame Game Development Competition 2009. NextWar was released to Xbox Live Indie Games in March 2009. To date, it has had well over 30,000 downloads.

NextWar: The Quest for Earth was written in C# using XNA Game Studio 3.0.
