Portfolio for Fredrik Andersson in Game Programming
“I am part of The Game Assembly’s internship program. As per the agreement between the Games Industry and The Game Assembly, neither student nor company may be in contact with one another regarding internships before April 23rd. Any internship offers can be made on May 5th, at the earliest.”

Projects
Here are some of my game projects and game engine experiments.
Modular UI
A modular UI that is easy to adapt to a new project
Game engine base
A game engine experiment with water reflection and procedural generation using dx11 and some of my base math classes.
Networked Tank Game
This project walks through implementing a simple networked multiplayer tank game with features like prediction, interpolation, delay compensation, and network debugging tools.
Modular UI
View on GitHub
This project focuses on building a modular UI system that's easy to implement in a new project. The end goal is to also implement and export from an editor as JSON. It is going to use nlohmann to load these files and create the entire UI structure at runtime.
🔧 Key Features Already Implemented
- State-Based UI Flow: Manages UI menus using a state stack (e.g., Main Menu, Settings, Pause), with
PushState,PopState, andPushStateAndPopfor seamless transitions. - Modular Components: Easily build interfaces with reusable elements like buttons, sliders, containers, and text. Each is a separate class with helper functions for setup.
- Interactive & Event-Driven: Supports event callbacks for hover, click, and drag using
std::function. Input is handled centrally in the UIManager. - Rendering System: Elements are added to a prioritized render list to maintain proper visual layering and efficient rendering.
- Responsive Design: Automatically scales UI elements to screen resolution using a layout update function for different devices and aspect ratios.
🌱 Future Improvements
- Visual UI Editor Tool: Drag-and-drop editor for building UI layouts visually.
- Live Preview: Real-time preview of changes inside the editor.
- Dynamic Text: Support for localization, font scaling, and multi-language UI.
DX11 Engine

For this project I worked with procedural generation, Directx11, reflection and raycasting and in general just game related math needed for engines.

Networked Tank Game
This project walks through implementing a simple networked multiplayer tank game with features like prediction, interpolation, delay compensation, and network debugging tools.
I am currently developing it.
I am using ASIO for networking as it is cross platform. Jolt for Physics. Cap'n Proto for Serialization. My Engine my own graphics engine. More control FBXSDK for model loading (later) with maybe unity or UE for model export to JSON using nlohmann.🛠️ Development Process
🔌 Networking Basics
- Configured a simple TCP/UDP server and client setup (authoritative or not).
- Established basic client-server communication.
- Implemented a handshake/login system.
- Decided on message structure and serialization format.
🎮 Core Gameplay Loop
- Built a game loop to send tank positions to the server.
- Implemented server-side state management (authoritative/semi-authoritative).
- Synchronized player movement across clients.
🕹️ Prediction & Interpolation
- Will add basic interpolation for smooth movement.
- Implement input prediction on the client.
- Handle motion delay compensation.
🔫 Shooting Mechanics
- Send input events for shooting.
- Handle projectiles on the server and synced them with clients.
- Add basic physics (custom or using a physics lib).
- Implement collision detection between bullets and tanks.
- Synchronize point/projectile positions over the network.
💥 Health & Combat
- Implement a health/damage system with notifications to clients.
- Enhance motion smoothing using interpolation/extrapolation.
- Improve hit registration using delay compensation techniques.
🌐 Network Optimization
- Simulate latency and jitter for testing.
- Optimize packet rate and size.
- Add tank explosions and death handling.
- Add respawn logic and a simple win condition.
🧪 UI & Polish
- Create UI elements for health and status.
- Add sound and visual feedback for combat.
- Build network debugging tools (packet logs, latency graphs).
- Playtest to catch bugs and edge cases.
- Finalize UI polish and game feel.
- Optimize physics and mesh code for better responsiveness.
