Hello, my name's Luca and welcome to my website. I'm an Australian hobbyist programmer. I am using this site as a source to host various things I've made. Hope you find some fun/cool.

Games I made:

Catch of the Day

Catch of the Day

A club penguin ice fishing game clone created as part of a school project in late-2024.

Ashes of the Swarm

Ashes of the Swarm [DEMO]

A rube goldberg machine puzzle game about creating chain reactions set in the wild west filled with insects. A full version will come to Steam soon. I consider it my best work.

SandGame

SandGame (Windows, download only)

Falling sand game written in C++ with SDL with a goal of large scale simulations. Fully multithreaded with some clever tricks like using sleeping chunks and dirty rects to get more preformance, all under 3MB. It can handle over 2 million particles at once, with many interesting elements to choose from. NEW: Added Player, more elements and tools + bug fixes!

Software I made:

Digital Cookbook System

Digital Cookbook System

Created by me in year 12 as a school-assessed task in 2026, made in less than a week. As the name suggests it helps you create and manage recipes.

Bookworm Adventures Solver

Bookworm Adventures Solver

Remember bookworm adventures? This is a simple online tool I created (around 2024?) that helps you find long, complex words with the given letters, effectively playing the game for you if you're bad at playing the game like me. (It's kind of broken, sorry!)

Music I made:

Beyond programming I also make music of varying quality. All these tracks listed are for my game Ashes of the Swarm. All music listed here is under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International. So basically you can use/remix it in anything (even commerical stuff) but you have to credit me and derivatives of my work need to use the same license. Given though how mediocre my music is I'm unsure if it would be wise.

El Palo Morado

The theme for the first boss in Ashes of the Swarm, heavily based off this wonderful little public domain track. I love the romantic trumpet on this one but I think the bassline is a little flat.

Fog Theme

Piano solo I made for the fog level of the game. I think it ended up sounding a bit too grimm.

Fog Theme (old)

This was the first attempt at the fog level theme. The piano melody is dreadful but I think the tin whistle had potential.

Bonus Level Theme

A short loopable theme that started as the music for the intro story but later got changed to the bonus level selection theme. A friend of mine said "I can't tell if it sounds chinese or western".
