🎮 Voxel-style chess game with animations and scripting
A chess board with voxel pieces 🧊, smooth animations ✨ and magical particle effects 🔮 for a fun retro look.
🧠 Complete chess logic built from scratch:
• Legal moves for all pieces ♟️
• Check and checkmate detection 👑
• Turn-based system with automatic player switching 🔄
• Captures, promotions, and special rules ⚔️
The game runs on a board matrix that acts as the brain of the system 🧩.
Every interaction (hover, select, move, and attack) comes from this grid and works with state machines and Rive animations 🎞️.
A voxel version of classic chess with magical visuals and fun style ✨♟️

🚗🚙🏡Game Type: 2D car racing game (2D), based on the timing of car traffic to reach the finish line.
Play environment: It consists of straight and branched tracks in black, with discontent yellow stripes to separate the tracks. It also contains obstructions (orange triangles) that should be avoided.
Goal: To reach the blue sports car from the starting point at the bottom of the screen to the upper end line (black and white square next to the house) in the shortest possible time.
Controls: The car is controlled via a green virtual steering wheel in the lower right corner of the screen.
Analysis of performance and behaviour of cars (as evidenced by the footage):
Blue car (player): a fast sports car, starting from the bottom of the screen and moving up towards the finish line.
Red cars (adversaries): move back and forth periodically on crossed tracks. The collision of the blue car with any red car leads to the loss of the tour.
Attempts to play:
THE FIRST ATTEMPT (STARTING FROM THE SECOND 00:00): FAILED DUE TO A COLLISION WITH A RED CAR COMING FROM THE LEFT, AND AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED "CAR ON THE ROAD! You lose. TAP TO RESTART".
The second attempt (starting from the second 00:05): The blue car moved to overtake the first red cars, but collided with the middle of another red car at the main intersection, which led to the failure of the attempt again (the appearance of the word "BUMP!" At two 00:10).
Third attempt (starting from the second 00:12): The blue car succeeded in overtaking the first red cars and then the second, but it collided with the third red car near the finish line, and the attempt ended with the appearance of "BUMP!" Once again.

I built an interactive puzzle game where players connect pipe pieces to complete a path using limited moves. The game focuses on logic, strategy, and replayability with clean visuals and responsive interactions. The idea was inspired by childhood memories of drawing boxes, connecting lines, and playing simple paper-and-pencil games with friends—bringing that nostalgic feeling into a fun, modern interactive experience. #easylenscontra
I’ve recently been working on a small mini-game by myself, and here are a few character concepts I created with AI. Which one do you think looks best?
