Automating my Car shooter game with MCTS
This project began as a casual college game I developed in my second year, using Pygame. The idea was simple. You’re driving a car, and your job is to survive enemy attacks, collect energy to stay alive, and shoot down as many opponents as you can. The more you destroy, the higher your score. The core gameplay loop was designed in Pygame and includes: A player car that moves left and right.…
Writing a Monadic Interpreter in Haskell

The new Bundle Creator is to be designed similar to an installation wizard. By compartmentalizing the functionality into four separate sections, users can effortlessly navigate through the various aspects of bundle creation process. My…
