Lola Van Vooren

Video game programming student. Gameplay and tools programmer (Unreal Engine, C++, Unity, C#). I build editors and modular, data-driven systems so designers can add content without touching code.

About me

I study Video Game Development at Haute Ecole Albert Jacquard in Namur, Belgium, with a specialisation in programming. I work both on solo projects and on team projects, and I am most comfortable with C++ (Unreal Engine) and C# (Unity), and I pick up new tools quickly. I also draw a lot!

What I enjoy most is taking a problem the team keeps hitting and turning it into a tool that removes it for good. I'm looking forward to learning more about gameplay and tool programming.

One problem I solved

In my roguelike, every level is built on a grid. I used to type in the level data by hand index by index. As it was long and tedious I built a grid editor inside the project: I draw the grid, I preview it, and the tool generates the code the game reads back. Anyone can now build levels without knowing how the generation even works.

See how it works, with the code
