After receiving valuable feed back from my classmates as well as my instructor. I had decided to work on it and had resubmitted the following trailer for a better grade. the changes i made were:  1. music trasnitions well towards the end. 2. few shots were replaced with better shots of different cars 3. introduction  shot of the police car, so that it doesnt feel out of place. 4. few better transitions  between some cuts

Hey every one so here it is! The trailer of our racing game. Its called Sophmore Spinout!!!!!!This trailer consist of the awesomest levels created by the GA class of 2017

For our programming class we are creating a retro game. The one that me and my team mate Danny choose is Pong. Looking at pong, one can assume that visually it has simplistic style. Since we have to create similar mechanics in the new Unreal Engine 4. I observed the above video to see what are the attributes and mechanics involved.

Based on these two elements, I researched on several different models of Jeeps and many SUVs. Following are  some results that i found for references. Being inspired by these, I mad a mock HUD concept. The concept is based on the theme of the level as well as the various HUDs that i looked up online,
