Projects
Interactive Corfu
A responsive and interactive website designed to promote the Corfu island through beautiful sceneries, original music and art, mini-games, interactive videos and special features! An original and unique work. The site is fully handmade by me with HTML/CSS/JS.
Spheria
Spheria is a fast-paced, two-player board game where the players try to get 4 planets/spheres in a row. The twist is that the planets orbit around the center of the field in every turn and players can strategically move their opponent's planets or cast other spells. Made in Unity using C# and created my own assets.
Angry Calculator
An interactive and humorous text-based game exclusively made with "Pseudocode" which is an artificial language based on Pascal for the representation and coding of algorithms. It is officially nationally used to teach programming to the students of the Greek general high schools. AngryCalculator is an adventure with multiple finales through a truly unique over 1200 lines of code story demonstrating that creativity has no limits, as well as showcasing the potential of such a feature-lacking coding language that has education value.
Unity's Endless Running Adventure
I made this video game when I was 14. It's an endless runner type game with special features and the cute Unity-Chan (Unity's Japanese Mascot) as a protagonist. Made on Unity with C#. Part of the graphics and the music were also made by me.
Vocalized Feelings
Made my first album containing 11 songs featuring a variety of songs from different music genres and synthesizer voices and speech. Computers and music go well together.
