Games:

Most of these are games I've made in ~48h game jams. I've been to a fair share of them (10+) and managed to score a 1st place and 2nd place on two of them.
Others are just small games I've done on my free time.
My development stack for games is usually either Java with LibGDX or Javascript with p5.js.

• "Magicmon" (2024)
  Hobby project. Literally a Pokemon clone with Magic the Gathering references.
  It has around 15 min of gameplay but it's not a complete game.
  Source code available: Gitlab

• "Dungeon Raycaster" (2022)
  Hobby project. A complete rogue-like with 3d raycasting rendering and procedural generation.
  Source code available: Gitlab

• "Domain Conflict" (2017)
  Made in 32h for Retro Jam 2017 @ FEUP. We won 1st place!
  Couch multiplayer 3d raycaster made for the pico-8 fantasy console.



• "Spaceship Panic" (2023) - Personal Game Jam with friends (Github)
• "Tank Roulette" (2017) - "Invictvs Game Jam 2017"
• "Império" (2017)(PT) - "Game Jam no Museu 2017"
• "Universal Constructor" (2017) - "TechBox Game Jam 2017" (2nd Place)
• "Cloud Rapture" (2016) - Ludum Dare 36
• "Attack of the Meef" (2015) - Ludum Dare 33
• "Pew Pews and Explosions" (2014) - College Project (LCOM)
• "Blow Em' Up" (2012) - Highschool hobby project

Other Software Projects:

These are mostly unfinished games and small experiments I made in my free time.

• "Raycaster Engine" (2023)
  Improved engine from "Dungeon Raycaster" with a minimap, better procedural generation and guns!
  You can probably tell I love raycasters by now.

• "Untitled Low Poly FPS" (2023)
  Low poly browser FPS. Really low tech. Level design is made by changing pixels on an image.

• "House Maze" (2022)
  2d top-down exploration game with a procedurally generated maze meant to be an infinite house.

• Onitama AI (2018)
  An AI that plays the board game Onitama.
  Made it when I saw a game being played and figured making a computer opponent that always wins would be trivial.

• Circle Inversion (2015)
  Visualization of a concept that caught my eye on a Numberphile video.

• Procedural Dungeon Generator (2015)
  An interactive 2d dungeon generator based on this article. When I read the article I thought it would be fun to see what different parameters would do in real time.

Hardware Projects:

• YM2149 Synthesizer (2022)
  Synthesizer built around the YM2149 sound chip used in several consoles and home computers from the 80s. It features a web based tracker to compose music for it.

• 6502 Breadboard Computer (2022)
  Project based on Ben Eater's videos about building a breadboard computer based around the 6502 microprocessor commonly used in computers from the 80s.

• Icarus RC Plane (2021)
  An RC plane that I already totally wrecked and rebuilt half a dozen times.

• Pocket Amplifier (2019)
  Quick 5€ weekend project of a pocket size guitar amplifier.
  This was based on this project with a few changes.
  

• MTG Card Scanner (2018)
  A machine that scrolls through and identifies a pile of MTG cards.
  Unfortunately the match rate wasn't good enough for realiable use of the machine (around 95% and even lower for older cards).
  Even so this was a cool litle project that was a lot of fun to build, code and see working :)
