Monkey of Puppets – Nordic Game Jam 2010
A little chimp is trying to exit the evil world of oppressive gorillas. Dodge enemies to escape, but there’s a deception somewhere in there. Use puppet mastery skills to leave decoys of yourself to distract the sentries. Find the key and get to the door to escape the level. And then do it all over again. Is there any end to it?
High as a Kite
During the last 2 months, I’ve been involved in a design project for a Game Design class. Working with 4 more people, we’ve come up with a game involving the notion of flying kite. That’s all about there is as of now – the primary aim was to “funnify” the aspect of flying the kite. … Read more

Flickr
Wanted to tell people that Photographs taken by me can be seen on flickr… I want to talk a little about Digital Photography in this entry.

Prime Number Theorem
Properties of Prime Numbers have been studied as far back as the ancient Greek Civilizations. Be it the mathematicians of Pythagoras’ School (500 BC to 300 BC), Euclid in about 300 BC or Eratosthenes in around 200 BC; the Greeks came up with most of the basic and important identities and their proves: Pythagoras’ Mathematicians … Read more
N Queens Problem
In chess, a queen can move as far as she pleases, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A conventional chess board has 8 rows and 8 columns.
