Chess Engine + Interface

• Developed a fully functional chess application in Java that interfaces with the Stockfish engine to create a challenging AI opponent.
• Built an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Java Swing, enabling users to drag-and-drop pieces and visualize legal moves on the board.
• Implemented process management using Java’s ProcessBuilder to send and receive real-time move data between the user interface and the backend engine.

Slime Volleyball Clone

• Engineered a physics-based arcade game in Java that simulates gravity, momentum, and collision detection for dynamic gameplay.
• Utilized Java AWT and Swing to create a custom game loop that handles high-speed rendering and smooth player movement.
• Applied linear algebra concepts to calculate vector trajectories for ball reflections and player interactions.
