Hey, I'm Cătă!

Started as a hobby project to help a friend learn for his paragliding exam, I ended up building a full-fledged quiz application.

It consists of 1000+ questions from 8 different categories and has a simulation mode that mimics the real exam.

From a technical point of view, my goals were to learn using more complex animations with GSAP and deliver a fast & secure web application. It runs server-less on Vercel and uses Next.js API routes to hide all sensitive data from the client, such as the correct answers.

This game was created as a learning exercise, to familiarize myself with the WebRTC technology.

It is a multiplayer game, where two players compete against each other in a classic Pong game, but with a twist: the paddles are controlled by the players' phones.

The game was built using Phaser, a popular game engine for JavaScript, and uses WebRTC for the multiplayer functionality.

Created mainly as a learning exercise, this game was built from scratch, without using any game engine or library.

My goal was to familiarize myself with running a high amount of animations in the browser at 60 FPS, thus implementing it using as low-level tools as possible.

I used the HTML Canvas as the rendering engine and implemented a custom game loop, collision detection, and animation system.

One of the most exciting bits was implementing the bézier curve algorithm, which I used for all the animations in the game.
