Phillip Trudeau-Tavara

I am a game developer with 7 years of C/C++ experience and 14 years of personal C/C++ experience. I like performance-aware programming.

• I stream programming on Twitch at twitch.tv/philliptrudeau.
• My Github is at github.com/pmttavara.
• My Itch.io page is at philliptrudeau.itch.io.
• Here is my blog.

I co-designed, co-programmed, produced, and scored Sir Happenlance and the Spear of Density:

• Website: happenlance.com
  
• Happenlance on Steam: s.team/a/1663410
  
• Happenlance Discord: happenlance.com/discord
  

I work on UX improvements for the live timeline debugger WhiteBox:

• WhiteBox shows you a real-time view of all your variables as they change over time, in a DAW-like timeline view.
• You can instantly see the state of the data wherever your cursor is in the code.
• Dig into any data's history of changes to see where & how the values changed.
• WhiteBox details: azmr.itch.io/whitebox
• WhiteBox on the web: whitebox.systems
• I also wrote the watch expression compiler.
• I wrote many performance fixes.
• I ported the app to the Dear ImGui docking branch, including support for multi-monitor multi-DPI, which is currently nontrivial in Dear ImGui.

I programmed the only Silent Hill 2 level editor:

• Source code is on GitHub.

I programmed and co-designed 2D soulslike Light After Dark. We ranked top 20 in the Aesthetics category in GMTK Game Jam 2017.

• Source code is on GitHub.

I co-designed and co-programmed horror puzzler Stranded. We ranked 31st in the Mood category in Ludum Dare 46.

• I wrote the C library for fast binary tracing in the Spall profiler file format, plus UX improvements. The library source code is on GitHub.


• Sample DirectX + OpenGL interop program drawing GL on a DXGI 1.3 swapchain for better latency on Windows 10 and prior.


• Obtain the RDTSC frequency intelligently on Win32 and Linux.


• Eight-line implementation of defer { code(); }; for C++.


• Hello World in C + Win32 with zero preprocessor directives and no library imports (2019).


• Custom IMGUI C.R.U.D. app written to run a tool library at George Brown College (2018-2019).


• Unnamed C++ game engine (2015-2017).

Currently my favourite language is Jonathan Blow's new programming language for games. I like smooth jazz/rock music. I'm from Toronto.
