Endless Runner is a dynamic running game characterized by engaging animation and an infinitely generating level design. In this game, players strive to traverse as far as possible, gathering items and evading obstacles along the way, adding a layer of complexity and excitement to the gameplay.

This project was a study in behavior-based animation techniques, implementing advanced algorithms like spatial agent vision and steering behavior. The game scenario involves a predator (blue) chasing the prey (red), which in turn aims to reach the goal (red square) without getting caught. This interaction creates a compelling and dynamic game environment.

Recreated a faithful rendition of the iconic Level 1 dungeon from the classic 1986 game, The Legend of Zelda, including 10 distinctive player abilities, 15 varied enemies, and 25 unique items. Additionally, a procedural dungeon generation algorithm was implemented for extended playability.

Developed a novel tool aimed at facilitating pathologists by tracking their eye movements during examination of medical images. Utilizing Dlib and CV2, the application records the direction of the gaze and detects eye blinks. On detection of an eye blink, the image shifts in the gaze direction using Unity, thus providing an intuitive navigation method.

CraftMine is a self-initiated project aimed at replicating the voxel-based world of the popular game, Minecraft. Key components of this project included the application of Perlin Noise for procedural terrain generation, and the development of basic player interactions such as navigation and building systems.

In this project, I built an OpenGL-based program to create 2D plant growth animations. The underlying concept used here is L-system (Lindenmayer system) - a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. The resulting application allows for the visualization of fractal-like patterns simulating plant growth, complemented with a skybox for immersive rendering.

This project involved the use of D3.js and Pandas for effectively visualizing energy data. The goal was to design and develop visualizations that could aid in intuitive understanding and discovery of patterns and insights in the dataset.
