  Flashcards

  Pause the episode, type the word, get it back in a sentence.

  My English vocabulary trainer: type a word while watching a series and it becomes a card with a real example sentence and its Ukrainian translation. One set per episode, studied Quizlet-style — swipe-to-flip cards, a typing mode and spoken audio. Behind a login, stored in Postgres.

  Zone 1986

  Walk out of the dead city before the dose walks out of you.

  A pixel-art side-scroller drawn entirely in code — no sprite sheets, no images. Five runs through an abandoned town: hot strips, electric anomalies, collapsed roadway, feral dogs, crows and gas pockets, with filter cartridges, iodine, lead aprons and artifacts to keep you upright. Fullscreen, with a unit-tested engine.

  Antigrav Loop

  Ten circuits on an antigravity ribbon, somewhere past the last planet.

  A WebGL racer built on a hand-written Three.js scene: procedural nebula sky, a hex-lit track shader and walls that close in mid-lap. Ten circuits, each adding one thing to fly — neon gates, boost pads, minefields, rivals, sweepers — with a pure, unit-tested physics engine underneath.

  Welding Trainer

  Your phone is the torch. Roll to travel, pitch for height, hold for the arc.

  A welding simulator driven by the phone's motion sensors: four joints, three processes (MMA, MIG/MAG, TIG), three electrode motions and five metals with their own heat physics. Play on the phone, or scan a QR and beam it to a laptop screen over a direct WebRTC link.

  Recruiter Run

  Catch the skills, dodge the recruiters.

  A canvas mini-game that turns my tech stack into a side-scroller. Collect the badges that match my real experience — and avoid the ones that don't.
