About Vi Tiet
Passionate. Curious. Dedicate.
I am extremely motivated and thrive to constantly be better as a game programmer. I am seeking an environment where I can utilize my programming skill and knowledge.
"Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming."

Planet Runner
C#/Unity3D
This is my first mobile game made with Unity Engine. Although lacking originality, I managed to put in some features that I'm proud of. From procedural planet vegetation populating to custom touch input, all was done from scratch and through lots of reading on stackoverflow...

Untitled RPG Game
C#/Unity
A name which I had to think for a long time to come up with!... Jokes aside, this is the project that I put probably most of the things I learned in school. From the publish-subscribe design pattern to the weighted graph data structure, and much more, which can be found scattering inside this project.

Bulls Cows Game
C++
This is my take on Bull Cow word game in which the players need to guess an isogram word within a limited number of tries. This version features a fully expandable word list that anyone can add to. The only drawback is that one has to adhere to a set of rules in order for the additional words to work.

Card Game
Revisiting one of my earlier projects of the school year, I wanted to clean up and make the BlackJack card game project expandable and more... DRY. From a monolithic class of more than 3000 lines of code, I managed to separate that one giant class into 10 different classes and reduced the total project lines down to around 1000. This made me quite proud because it proves that I did pay attention and learn something in class!... maybe...

Conway's Game of Life
"Conway's Game of Life, The Game of Life, or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970". This is a zero-player game, which will play by itself once you've created a pattern/configuration, then simply start the simulation to see how it plays out.

Catavaneer?!
This is a multiplayer hack n’ slash game that I and my friends/colleagues at Toronto Film School created within 3 months from scratch... well, all but the original pitch idea were made from scratch it was pitched and accepted over half a year ago! The biggest accomplishment for me in this project was the experience that came with working with a group of people to meet a deadline. I was able to experience working across multiple roles, from AI, UI, Gameplay, Core Game Systems, QA, etc.
The most precious thing I learned from this project is that you can start making a game, but you can never finish making it... until you ship it can you truly say I kind of finish making that game...
All in all, this is the project that I'm proud of the most during my school days.

This is a project that I started while learning from one of the courses on Udemy... with a twist! All the models besides the tree, car, and light fixture are made with Unity's primitive shapes, which in the end, produce a very nice minimalistic feel.
Also, in this project, after many trials and errors, I made my first custom path editor tools for the game using Unity's editor scripting APIs.

Builder Defender
Another project that I made while learning on Udemy!
Although minimal, I started to make more tools and editor utilities to help speed up the pipeline.
The goals are convenience and reuseable. Some of the tools made while I'm working on this project:
- Quick HP Bar: Quickly create a prototype of a health bar, save/load presets with only a click. Also comes with HP damage FX! Such as shrinking follow bar, fading bar, or drop bar!
- Auto-Generated Code: Generate enum and class with a template! You just have to make an editor script to customize your enum or class content, and the Code Generator will take care of the rest!
- Scriptable Object Browser: One of the inconvenient hurdles while trying to find and edit the scriptable objects is navigating the project folder. With Scriptable Object Browser, you can access all of your scriptable objects in one window!
- UI Data Manager: Another example of simplifying storing UI skin and changing it on the fly. You don't have to go through the hierarchy tree and search for your UI and change the skin one by one... just make it into a prefab, add it to the UI Data Manager Scriptable Object, then voila! Any skin changed will be saved and updated into the prefab itself!
***** If you want to try out the tool, you must have Odin Inspector. Contact me if you're interested in the tool! Don't worry, it's free to use! *****
