Welcom to Playground by Andrash

Hello! I'm Andrash Yang, the author of this project.

I'm a full-stack developer with over 10 years of experience in software development, including game development and mobile app development.

What You are seeing now is the source code of my portfolio website - Playground by Andrash.

I built this website as my portfolio to showcase my skills and experience, hoping to find a job that I love.

This website is part of an ongoing project. I'll keep adding new features to it. I've released it to the public at this stage because it's already good enough to serve as a portfolio. However, I have more ambitious plans for it.

The Tech Stack

This website is built using React.js for the frontend and Node.js for the backend. Vite serves as the bundler for the frontend, while Express.js and socket.io are used for API implementation and server-client communication. Jest is used for unit testing. PM2 is used to manage the backend process.

The entire project is written in TypeScript, utilizing the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) style.

All the game image assets are illustrated by me using Inkscape and animated by directly editing the SVG files.

The Multiplayer Online Game Engine

The most unique thing about this website is that it's built on top of a customized multiplayer online game engine that I developed. This engine provides visitors with an unconventional, game-like web browsing experience. It allows visitors to share the same game world (playground) and interact with each other in real-time.

The game engine runs on both the frontend and the backend and is kept synced through a set of dedicated APIs implemented with socket.io.
