Projects
Guardian of the Forest [Unity, C#]
In this atmospheric 2D soulslike side-scroller which draws inspiration from titles like Blasphemous, I served as the lead programmer in a 5-member team. My responsibilities encompassed crafting the player and enemy controllers, finite state machines for both player and enemies, enemy AI behaviour and developing the combat mechanics. As the architect behind the combat system, I designed features for hit registration, damage calculation, and item drops. Additionally, I transformed our artists static sprites into animations and tilemaps, contributed to level design, and constructed the game environments.

ForeSight [Unity, C#, VR]
VR project where I was the lead programmer designed to make the player reflect on humanity’s devastating impact on nature and its habitants, as well as motivating the player to be proactive about the health of our environment in the present. Through the unique mechanic of switching between present and future timelines, players will be able to see and interact with a desolate environment that was once beautiful and lively. The friendly fox companion also suffers the same fate as the environment between timelines.

No More Laughs [Unity, C#]
Created for the Global Game Jam 2024 with the theme "Make Us Laugh". No More Laughs is a game about a clown who’s grown
tired of the constant demands to make everyone laugh. You are the clown trying to escape your life in the circus by collecting pies,
avoiding children, grabbing power ups, and running away after opening the gate.
Worked in a team of 4, with an artist, designer and another programmer. My responsibilities encompassed:
- Implementing 4 enemy AI behaviours: chase, frightened, caught, patrol
- Adding the navmesh and navmesh agents to track down the player
- Integrating art and UI elements into the game, creating all menus and text boxes
- Creating a sound manager class to manage all sounds and make playing sounds easy
- Constructing the game's level using tilemaps
- Implementing a two-camera system with a Cinemachine brain, featuring a default player-following view and a zoomed-out map display upon acquiring the clown shoe power-up
- Utilizing the LeanTween package to introduce a wave effect to the "No More Laughs" title at the top of the map after the zoom-out event
WebGL Tetris [JavaScript, WebGL, HTML, CSS]
I created this WebGL Tetris game for my computer graphics course, blending classic Tetris gameplay with modern rendering concepts. Using JavaScript and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), I implemented features like random tetromino generation, smooth movements, and rendering with WebGL.
-
Key Features:
- Implemented a system for generating and placing tetrominoes randomly using JavaScript and OOP techniques
- Created functions for checking the validity of a tetromino's position on the game board
- Implemented game mechanics, including block movement, rotation, and line clearing
- Designed a system for converting Tetromino positions and colors into efficient 1D buffers, optimizing rendering performance

Multiplayer Snake Game [Python, TCP]
Made an online multiplayer game where two players control snakes in a shared 2D grid, consuming diamonds to grow and score points.
The game introduces strategic gameplay, and the objective is to outscore the opponent while avoiding collisions.
Client socket:
Server socket:
Handling shared object:
-
Key Features:
- Implemented a client-server network architecture to separate the responsiblities of managing the game state/handling shared resources from displaying UI/receiving inputs
- Client code responsible for obtaining player inputs and sending them to the server, along with receiving game state from server and displaying it on screen
- Server code that enables one of the players to act as the server, accommodate up to two connections, managing game state, shared resources and player interactions

A Pokemon-themed Mine Seeker game where players tap cells to catch randomly placed Pokemon. Inspecting cells reveals hidden Pokemon counts in the same row and column, helping players make strategic choices. The objective is to catch all Pokemon with the fewest scans.
-
Key features:
- Options menu that allows for different board sizes and number of mines
- Number of games played and high scores are saved for each possible configuration between application runs
- Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern used to keep game logic separate class from game UI
