A multiplayer game, built as a single-page web app. This is an entirely personal project, written almost entirely in Typescript. Client-side it is rendered via React, with GSAP and regular CSS handling most of the animations. The server is a node.js app, utilizing the beautiful and open-source Colyseus framework for room management and communication protocols. Google's Firebase SDK is currently used for database and authentication. Most complex parts of this project are the business logic - special effects of played cards need to be able to both respond to a large number of possible situations, which is solved via an entirely custom event system.

Also in the form of a React application, I constructed a custom data editor to aid development as the project scales. This uses simple forms, the ACE Editor plugin for scripting the effects directly, with syntax hight-lighting and custom autocomplete. Instead of a managed database, I opted to use the Github API for load-saving the data. Apart from providing a mkae-shift human-readable change history, this approach afforded me creative freedom, by using git branches to easily test and compare design directions.

A PWA (progressive web application), and an ongoing personal passion project, which aims to present a novel experience, combining the visual minimalism of 'choose-your-own-adventure' books with the openness of traditional computer games. On the surface, the app is text animated with Three.js and jQuery animations, behind the scenes, it blends scripted events and dialogue with procedural sentence generation (think "online chat-bots") and an AI narrative director orchestrating a modular story at a reasonable pace. AngularJS was used to build both the game client and a custom tool for editing all characters, locations, special events, and dialog/narration snippets. 

For this billiards game, I was responsible mainly for the game-rules module, implementing the Box2D physics SDK (with some custom modifications and prediction work), as well as the entirety of the central multiplayer server. For the last, we opted to use PlayerIO - an online multiplayer service, where we upload our room logic, written in C#. Other than that same server code and the synchronization troubles that comes with it, the most challenging aspects were optimizing the physics engine for mobile devices, as well as the very low-level custom shader I engineered to handle drawing convincing ball projections without having to use actual 3D geometry.

Perhaps one of the least technically complex, but most creative and best looking projects I worked on at the office. Apart from some trigonometry and mock-physics, most of the code I wrote for this game relates to tweens and visual effects - glows, pops, simple particles, movement trails, etc.
