Project Euler

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 18:29:05 +0530

In my limited time, I also wish to understand how programmers and computers work. To better learn programming, I solve problems from Project Euler. The mathematical nature of problems sits very well with my educational background and I find it a very fun activity to do.

The solutions currently reside here but will be made private once I reach past the first 100 problems to stay compliant with the rules of Project Euler.

Pixel of the week

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 17:54:37 +0530

Pixel of the week is a series where I take in suggestions from you on what I should draw next as pixelart. The work is then published on my instagram, bluesky, reddit and discord.

To take check out my work so far or to make a suggestion, reach out to the ping section of the website and drop a comment, I would love to talk to you.

Thanks for reading :)

Experiments with strudel

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:47:11 +0530

Over a course of various months I have tried exploring music production for my games. After trying various DAWs, I found that strudel aligns with my taste the best.

So I started experimenting with it and archiving my work under public domain. The source files for the music are available for use under the CC BY-ND license here.

Feel free to use after providing attribution, I hope these help you in your journey!

Breakout

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 09:50:20 +0530

This is the third post for a series of games I made to learn game development. It is time to breakout!

Scope

The scope of this project was to recreate the breakout game we all remember with basic sound effects.

Process

So this project started with creating the walls using StaticBody2D nodes on top, left, and right, followed by an Area2D node for the bottom, similar to how we did for Pong.

Crappy Bird

This is the second post for a series of games I made to learn game development. This time, its ~~flappy~~ crappy bird.

You might be wondering, “But Solo, why is it called Crappy Bird?”. Well, my friend, there are several known bugs in the game, and I never found time to fix them. Try it out, let’s see how many of them can you find.

Pong

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:22:20 +0530

This is first post for a series of games I made to learn game development. Obviously, first up is a pong clone.

Scope

The scope of this project was to recreate the simple pong game, along with having some basic sound effects and a singleplayer mode, while hopefully creating no bugs ;)

20-games-challenge

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:21:30 +0530

I believe the best way to learn, is by digging in and getting your hands dirty. While doing the same for my game development journey, I found The 20 games challenge. Since then, I have been experimenting and making tiny games. The challenge is yet to be completed but you can check out my progress so far here.

Upcoming is a “Jetpack Joyride” clone, but that might take awhile since I’m on a break and will be focusing more on pixel art and music production.

Fortress

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 17:07:18 +0530

frtrs (pronounced “Fortress”) is a small yet strong UCI chess engine written in odin programming language and powered by a simple raylib GUI.

It started as a bet with ChlorinePentoxide, since then I’ve been working on it as a side project.

The project is seldom worked on these days and may not see light of the day until start of 2027, but this is something I have been wanting to do since years so rest assured I will finish the project someday :)

Labyrun

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 17:07:07 +0530

Inspired by the classic Pac-Man, Labyrun tries to take a step forwards. The idea to introduce multiplayer of up to 4 players as local co-op with additional mechanics making the game more engaging.

Since this is my first indie production, the scope will be pretty bare bones and additional content (which I have plans for) depends largely on the game’s reception.

That being said, the wheel is already in motion and a “playable” build will be ready soon. I shall update on the progress here, until then, feel free to reach out to me. See you around!
