My name is Matthew Wilson. I am a Software Developer, and currently a student at
Base Camp Coding Academy. Game Development has been a long-time passion of mine.
This drive of creating games has led me to software development where I enjoy
solving problems with creative and innovative solutions. My short-term goal is to
be employed as a full-time software developer where I hope to be part of a team that has
a similar drive and passion for development.

My Projects
Stardust Kingdoms: Crying Moon (Jan. 2018 thru May 2021)
This is my personal project. The project uses Unity 3D Game Engine,
with C# as the scripting language. Set in Medieval Europe, this fantasy
game revolves around the mystical Amulet of Light, a power treasure that
allows the holder to control the cycle of night and day.
Unit Project 1: Blackjack (Oct. 2020)
This was my first major project at Base Camp. Me and Lathe Ward worked
on this together, wanting to make a fun but simple virtual card game.
The game is written in Python.
Unit Project 2: Z-Shooter (Nov. 2020)
This was my second major project at Base Camp. Me and Andy Duarte
worked on this together. We aimed to make a top-down game with features
inspired by Call of Duty's iconic Zombies mode, and Left 4 Dead. The
game uses Python and Pygame. The sound effects were recorded by me.
Top Down Minecraft Clone (Dec. 2020 thru Feb. 2021)
This is a major side project that I worked on at Base Camp. Inspired by
the legendary game Minecraft, this game features building, mining,
muliple blocks, and the ability to save your current world. This game is
also made with Python and Pygame.
