My name is Jacob Morris, and I'm a student at the University of Hull. I'm currently studying Computer Science with Games Development. I've studied A levels in Mathematics, German and Biology at Selby College. I enjoy all matters of science, and in my free time I love coding of any kind; my personal favourite is with computer games!
Simulation and 3D Graphics
2D Computer Graphics & User Interface Design
Advanced Programming
Games Programming & Advanced Graphics
Let me tell you all about me!
Since I was the age of 12 when I first learned about PHP and tried to create a social network, I have fallen in love with computer programming. In my adventure with computer programming I've come across and tinkered with lots of programming language, my strongest being in C# and JavaScript. I have love for Java, Prolog and more, with a soft spot for PHP and HTML/CSS webdev.
I'm curious and I love to learn about new things - so I've put a lot of emphasis into my education. Education is my main focus, and I'm currently studying Computer Science (with Games Development) at the University of Hull, and taken a module in Astrophysics. I have also studied Mathematics, Biology and German at Selby College.
Everywhere I look I see inspiration; I enjoy trying to replicate game mechanics, and simulations of real life scenarios (ie, planetary systems). My favourite field of Computer Science is Artificial Intelligence. I often find myself inspired by the stories told by Steve Wozniak.
At heart my passion is computer games. Computer games are fun - they make people happy and can bring people together. As a child computer games brought me plenty of entertainment, and I dream to be able to develop a game and pass on the fun that I experienced.

Here's something I'm particularly proud of.
I worked on this piece of group coursework as part of my Games Programming & Advanced Graphics module.
We created a component based game engine in order to run our game.
This coursework received 100%, and was amongst the best submitted.
It was a fun, yet challenging project to work on. It gave me lots of room to try new ideas out.
The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Below is a selection of my favourite projects.
