Software Developer
Ruby on Rails
Side projects in Game Development
I solve problems by designing software and writing code.
Most of the code I write at the moment is Ruby on Rails (with some Node JS and Ember JS mixed in), as part of the wonderful team at HotDoc.
I used to be pretty good at C++ and sometimes I still use it, amongst other things, in some of my side projects.
Became a Ruby on Rails developer, helped support Australia in the fight against COVID-19 by enabling the healthcare industry to provide the best possible healthcare experience for all Australians.
As a Test Engineer, and then Software Engineer, worked on safety-critical communications software for military applications.
Hear now. And always.

Introduction Today we’re going to build a simple dialogue system in the Godot engine. This tutorial is broken up into several parts, each including completed source code on GitHub, plus a HTML build of the project at the end of each part that you can play right in your browser.

Part 1 Recap In Part 1, we looked at: Project setup for a low-res ‘SNES-style’ game UI layout for our dialogue system Scripting a basic, branching conversation Introduction In Part 2, we’re going to get a lot deeper into scripting. We’ll be making the conversation more dynamic, adding the ability to swap characters and insert variables into the text. We’re also going to add some animation and enhanced visuals to our text by printing out characters and using BBCode.

Part 1/2 Recap In Part 1, we set up our project and scripted a basic conversation with branching options. In Part 2, we added character swapping, text formatting using BBCode, and handling variables within the conversation. Introduction This part is going to focus on extending our script with a couple of extra enhancements: triggering arbitrary events during the conversation, and also handling longer sections of dialogue by scrolling the text. Afterwards, we’re also going to look at how to integrate our conversation node into a larger game scene.
