Portfolio

Fill This is a game I made resembling the original game called Fill. I made it for my first course of Java. The game is made using the MVC pattern in JavaFx. Check out the Github to see the source code. The game still needs some polishing but you can try it out if you want.
VR Escape Room A Virtual Reality escape room game my collegue (Arne Wesenbeek) and I made. For a school assingment we had to make a game that could be used in a revalidation center for people who have trouble moving around. If you have a HTC Vive yourself you can check out the game by following this Onedrive link.
Come shop with us! For a school assignment we had to make a movie poster. We came with the idea of recreating this picture.
First portfolio website This is the very first portfolio website I made for a school assignment about 4 years ago. I decided it needed an update. This is why I made this one.
