My beautiful face  Ryan Staudacher - Urbana, IL

I am a programmer with extensive C# and Unity scripting experience as well as experience with C/C++ and basic web development skills. I have a Bachelor's degree in Game Design from Columbia College Chicago. During my time there, I learned to code with C# and quickly realized that I love programming and have been doing it ever since!

Game Dev Projects

Aiku project image

There has been a fuel-related emergency aboard the R.V. Minerva! The crew is in cryosleep, bound for a distant asteroid. As the ship's "Caretaker Bot", you must solve power puzzles, enter memory simulations, and do whatever else must be done to keep the crew alive!

Aiku is the culmination of Columbia College Chicago's 2018 large team game capstone course - a nine-month collaborative project involving over forty students!

A Star Pathfinding project image

A* or A-Star is a path search algorithm that aims to find a path to the given goal node having the smallest cost (least distance travelled, shortent time, etc.). It does this by maintaining a tree of paths originating at the start node and extending those paths one edge at a time until its termination criterion is satisfied.

I started this project with the end goal of having a coding portfolio piece. I wrote the pathfinding algorithm for this project from scratch and set it up to also work in 3D.

Quickdraw project image

Break out the six-shooters and spittoons, IT'S HIGH NOON! Have a good ol' fashion showdown with pals in this 4 player couch co-op FPS. May the best cowboy capsule win!

Quickdraw was created for the Game Development Processing course at Columbia College Chicago.

Fight your Roombas! Try to pop the other player's balloon! Pick up trash to get powerups! This is DOOMBA!

Doomba was my final project for the Advanced Game Engine Scripting course at CCC.

Educational Oiram project image

Cool-looking robot jumping.

Use your awesome robot powers to make it through the level or get dismantled by the hazards of deep space!
