birdsandbe.es Daily Puzzle

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

This is a daily puzzle game I made because I had some of those in my daily routine (Wordle, enclose.horse, daily LinkedIn games). I initially got the idea because I was having dinner and for some reason I was imagining how the objects on the table would have to be placed in order for light/lasers coming from the side to cover as much area as possible. I immediately wrote down the idea and started working on it the day after that. In about 2 weeks of working on it whenever I felt like it, I had a finished product, a puzzle generator and an algorithm I could use to quickly find the optimal solution(s) for any puzzle I gave it.

Brackey's Game Jam 2026.1 "Gnomebody Escapes"

Overview 🗺️

This is a game I made in 5 days for Brackey’s game jam 2026.1, because I had a lot of time and even more motivation. A game jam is an event where game developers (programmers, artists, etc.) sign up to create a game in a team or solo. Typically the deadline is in a short amount of time, for this jam it was a week, however, I only had 5 days to work on it, which made it even more of a challenge. I also chose to work on the game as a solo developer so my vision for the game is not dilluted by other people (although I realize that has it’s own benefits).

Quote Normalizer Browser Extension

Overview 🗺️

This is a project I made for fun, because I thought it would be nice to always have the same kind of quotes on websites. I could not find a solution that offered that service, so I made it myself in a few hours. I had never created a browser extension before this, so I was excited to try it.

Drawing Application

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

When school ended for the year and I had some spare time, I chose to start building a drawing/editing app using JavaFX. I had just learned about this technology and was curious to see how far I could get with this somewhat outdated technology. After setting up the basic features and tools like the pencil, brush, paint bucket, and eraser, I stopped working on the project. I decided it would be better to start exploring other technologies.
