Fishtank is not really a game, rather than a screensaver. It simulates a fish swarm in a fishtank and a shark that hunts and eats the fish. There are several interactive controls:

• Switch between the different cameras
• Change the brightness of a glowing fish
• Add and remove fish and sharks
• Switch the ceiling lamp and the names of the fish on and off
• Automatically calculate the number of fish where the frames per second drop below 10
• Export 20 TGA-files per second (quasi video export)

The project was created during the summer semester 2007 in computer graphics using C++, OpenGL and GLUT.

Witchcraft was written by Ralph Erdt and Andreas Textor (that's me) for the Programming 3 course at the University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden during the winter semester 06/07. The player controls a witch on her flying broom and can use spells and heavy weapons to shoot plenty of different creatures. There are 3 levels, 4 weapons - frog spell, magic detonator (guided missiles), gonne (machine gun), hexenschuss (Note: this is the german word for lumbago, used as a pun) (railgun); 7 different enemies, 3 skill settings and the possibility to save the game. The game was written in Java. Note that the game is in german, but there isn't really much to read.

Zik Zak is a thinking and reaction game. The game was written in C++ with the help of SDL, SDL_mixer and OpenGL. You follow a small green spaceship through an abstract world and try to reach the exit in each level. You can control the flying direction only indirectly by shooting the prisms. The ship ricochets according to the angle of incidence.
