Design Projects

I love video games, and I'm fascinated by the process of creating them. I've been learning about game design with some help from my Dad on the coding side. Here are a few projects that we created together.


Spell It In (React version)

This is a simple game of spelling words that we created together using React.js for UI and Zustand for state management. The game is quite addictive, and it's also good for training touch typing. Fill in the blanks to spell the word correctly. It's tougher than it looks!

Car

A simple game of skill. Using the up and down arrows the player must navigate the car keeping its wheels on the road at all times. Beware though! ... the road gets narrower. Space bar pauses the game.

Tank

A very simple tank game designed by me and coded by my Dad. The tank moves up and down and the turret moves higher and lower. The player must shoot and hit the target quickly to pass on to the next level.
