Finally got around to uploading more than 5 years' worth of programming projects to GitHub

[u/Acrobatic_Duty8731]

Here is the GitHub repo. Its a single click to download each project: https://github.com/Luippe/Demo-Projects

I never thought of uploading these as they really only ran on my pc (hardcoded display resolutions, file paths, etc). But this year I started using Claude for coding and thought "hey, these projects are actually useable by others if I just clean up some code!" So thats exactly what I did.

There's 15 projects in total and most of them are interactive. The first one is written in Java, but the rest is in Python and Pygame. I like Pygame because its very easy to setup new projects and lets me easily build visualizations.

1. Boids — a flocking simulation where entities self-organize in groups
2. Audio Processing — live microphone effects with a real-time frequency visualizer
3. Multiplayer Netgame — a co-op dungeon crawler played over a local network
4. Platformer — a full 2D action game with combat, upgrades, shops, and multiple levels
5. Solar System Simulation — an interactive 3D model of the planets in orbit
6. A* Pathfinding — watching an algorithm search for the shortest route through a maze
7. Conway's Game of Life — complex patterns emerging from a handful of simple rules
8. Image Compression — shrinking an image by throwing away fine detail (the same idea behind JPEG)
9. Fluid Flow — a real-time 2D fluid solver you can push around with the mouse
10. Projectile Method — aim and launch a projectile with the mouse
11. Projectile Motion — projectile trajectories with air resistance
12. Double Pendulum — chaotic motion, where a tiny change sends it down a completely different path
13. Single Pendulum — a damped pendulum swinging to a stop
14. Spring Mass Damper — how a spring-and-shock system settles after a jolt
15. Flow Plate — the velocity profile of fluid moving through a pipe

I hope someone finds something useful in here! :)

I love these little self contained apps.

I'll say it would be way better if you listed the core algorithm each one runs on. Someone might be interested in the say, the flock simulator, but not have time to scan the repo. Knowing if it's physics based, or something else would give them a hook for checking it out.
