Who am I?

Hello, my name is Martin Vitus Petersen, also known, in most places, as vitu0089.

Born in 2002, I always like computers, maybe a little too much. Playing games became my mornings, schooldays, and afternoons. After a while, it just gets a bit boring, just playing them. Actually making them proved a larger challenge than I thought it would, but in 2018, I made a few games on Scratch. They were terrible, and I hate myself for it, but they were the reason I began programming. I quickly switched over to LuaU (Roblox) scripting, and after a while, I was making something that actually looked like solid code. Since I began coding, there has not been a day that I haven't thought about coding, not a week without coding, and not a month without a new project.

As I have been coding for a solid 5 years at this point, I thought making a portfolio was due, so I will be trying my best to document a few of my projects. I will of course start with the ones I am most proud of, working my way down.

Portfolio

Kingmaker:

As I had been working on games of low quality for a while as a freelancer, I wanted to make something a little more serious. Though I haven't finished it yet, I haven't given up on it either. Most code was written in a separate place, then imported when the game started up. This gave me some pretty unique problems like scripts not being present for certain events. This was also the one time I decided to make a large map myself, using Blender and Roblox together, as seen below.

Miners Bar:

Making tycoons has always been one of my favorite programming tasks, if only I was as good at building as I was at coding. I tend to give up on tycoons, but this one nears its completion. The only reason behind its non-release is the fact that I might not be able to make enough content for the game. Also, I have a floor of the building just... not populated with anything. I hope to find someone willing to help me with the project, as I don't see myself releasing it before 2024.

Bezier Curve

As a small project, I wanted to display a bezier curve in 3D. I found most of this code online, but I don't believe in copy-pasting. I want to understand what goes on when I write something, so I looked around on the internet for a mathematical explanation of how and why bezier curves work. And after a while, things started to make sense.

local T = 0
local Curve = game.ReplicatedStorage.QuadraticCurve:Clone(); Curve.Parent = workspace
local Increments = 0.1

local function MovePoint(TrailPart)
	local FirstLine,SecondLine = {},{}
	
	for i=1,3 do
		FirstLine[i] = Curve[tostring(i)].Position + (Curve[tostring(i + 1)].Position - Curve[tostring(i)].Position) * T
	end

	for i=1,2 do
		SecondLine[i] = FirstLine[i] + (FirstLine[i + 1] - FirstLine[i]) * T
	end
	
	TrailPart.Position = SecondLine[1] + (SecondLine[2] - SecondLine[1]) * T
end

local function CreateCurve(Distance)
	if workspace:FindFirstChild("TracePart") then
		workspace["TracePart"]:Destroy()
	end
	
	Distance = Distance or 1
	
	local TrailPart = game.ReplicatedStorage.TracePart:Clone(); TrailPart.Parent = workspace
	local Forwards = true
	
	if T == Distance then
		Forwards = false
	elseif T == 0 then
		Forwards = true
	else
		print("Didn't work")
		return
	end
	
	for i=1,(1 / Increments) do
		MovePoint(TrailPart)
		
		T += Forwards and Increments or -Increments
		T = math.clamp(math.round(T * (1 / Increments)),0,(Distance / Increments)) / (1 / Increments)
		
		task.wait()
	end
	
	MovePoint(TrailPart)
end

script.Parent.ConfirmButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	CreateCurve()
end)

End Note

I must admit, my coding methods have changed a lot in the past few years, mostly for the better, and if you wish to see a live demonstration of such, please head over to Discord and hit me up.

Conclusion

If you wish me to work with you, please DM me on Discord (vitu0089), and propose your project, I'll gladly try to help you.

Best Regards

MVP, vitu0089
