Paintings

The Five Pandavas

Most of my paintings are from the various events in Mahabharata. This painting shows Pandava king Yudhistira seated with his brothers Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva in the innovative assembly hall created by architect Maya at Indraprastha (ancient Delhi).

This image took 3 days to paint. It contains more than 100 individual characters (the five Pandavas, Krishna, Balarama, sages and kings). The original image is 2 meters long.

Gaming

This is a unique application that I developed which I call a Game Surface. I call it thus because this is like a surface where characters can be dragged and dropped. As soon as the characters are dragged and dropped to the surface, they started acting various actions encoded into them.

There is also a control surface overlaid on top of the of this Game Surface. When user clicks on a character, all the actions (animations) encoded for that character is listed on the control surface as a control layout as action buttons. User can then click on various action buttons to make the character act out that particular action. Currently the engine support sprite animation and uses 2.5 dimension (simulated 3D or two-and-a-half-dimension). Hence not only action but action performed in a particular direction also can be controlled. The sprites can be 4-directional (East, West, North, South), 8-directional (NN, NE, EE, SE, SS, SW, WW, NW) or variable directional; the number of directions supported by the sprite too is detected automatically by the application. The application used DirectXGraphics for 2D / 3D graphics and DirectXAudio for sound. It also used DirectMusic API to render midi files.
