Laransey Carlton's Portfolio

Intro

I'm Laransey Carlton, a Senior at Seattle Pacific University currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science. I have a deep passion for all things technology and love the problem solving process that comes with programming. My goal is to work in Software Development and push the envelope on developing innovative technologies.

I'm currently studying for a AWS Cloud Practicioner Certificate

Check out some of my past work throughout the years.

Past Projects

Kairos

Kairos is an RTS fantasy experience that pits the player against the corruption in the world.

For my senior project, I worked in a team of 5 people to create a fun and challenging video game. My role in the team was as a Developer and bug tester.

Kairos was developed using the Unity Game Engine and distributed on the online game store, Steam in May 2023.

As my first experience in game development, Kairos proved to be an interesting learning experience.

I gained not only experience in writing scripts in C#, but also a valuable lesson in working on a long term project with a team.

Most projects I've worked on in the past have been solo adventures, so the dynamics of working with multiple people was a curve to overcome at first.

School Inheritance Class

A program that creates People-Student-Professor objects to practice with Inheritance and Polymorphism in C++

This was a solo project written in C++ utilizing vectors to store the class objects.

From this project, I learned about how to use Inheritance and Polymorphism on an object to create subclasses with different data but with the same base definitions.

A problem with this project that I encountered was that I was unable to implement the Load from File and Write to File functions to work before the deadline.

Battleship Project

A recreation of the classic Battleship boardgame that I remade in C++. It is a single player match against a CPU and both players take turns to fire at points on the board.

This project was written in C++ and instantiates the Grid using a 2D vector that contain each possible tile status.

This project was one of my earliest works I've done in C++, but I was still proud of the work I did with it because I learned about core Data Structure concepts that I utilize today.

An improvement I could make this to project is the ability to create custom ships for the board and to implement a Save and Load feature that allows for the custom ships to be saved and used again.
