    Projects

    Software Engineering

    Worked on a Software engineering project with four of my peers. We are developed a website for college students which shares cheap & healthy recipes and allows them to plan their meals for the week. They can add ingredients to a shopping list to make their weekly shop as easy and carefree as possible. We used HTML, CSS and Javascript. We incorporated bootstrap onto the website to make it responsive. We also used MongoDB for the databases needed. I created and designed most of the pages. I also set up a comment section on the blogs so that people will be able to share their thoughts and feedback.

    2018/2019
    Unity (Game Development)

    Developed a 2D game using Unity 2019. 'Vegan World' is a simple basket collection game. The aim of the game is to catch as many fruits and vegetables as possible before you die. In order to avoid losing a life, you must avoid letting any animal products touch you (milk, burgers and hotdogs). There are powerups that can help you through the game, for example there is one shield and one power boost. Paired with cute animations and cheerful music, it is a fun and simple game to play.
