Projects
Test Grader, Created student and teacher credentials stored in SQL database. Teacher has ability to create exams, add test cases, release scores of exams, hide tests, different exams for different classes. Flappy Bird Style Game Project, Designed game mechanics similar to Flappy Bird where the player controls a character to navigate through obstacles by tapping the screen. Created simple but engaging graphics and animations for the character, background, and obstacles using Unity's 2D tools and assets. Developed the game using Unity game engine and programmed functionalities in C#. Implemented tap controls for player interaction, allowing the character to jump and avoid obstacles. Integrated physics-based movement to simulate gravity and realistic jumping mechanics. Added score tracking and display functionality based on the player's performance (distance traveled/obstacles passed). Optimized game performance by implementing object pooling for obstacles and optimizing collision detection. Conducted thorough testing to ensure gameplay mechanics were smooth and responsive on both Android and iOS platforms.
