📁 Projects

🔹 Project 1: Mosaic Blur Filter (C++ with CMake)

Folder: Project_1_Mosaic/CMakeProject1

• A C++ application that applies a mosaic blur effect to an input image.
• Built using CMake and Visual Studio.
• Demonstrates low-level image manipulation and file I/O.
• Input images must be placed in the same directory as the built executable before running.

---

🔹 Project 2: Image Compression with K-Means (Python)

Folder: Project_2_Kmeans

• A Python program that implements K-means clustering from scratch to compress images by reducing color palette.
• Includes test images (test1.jpg through test5.jpg) used during development.
• Demonstrates algorithm implementation, pixel-level processing, and image visualization using matplotlib.

🔹 Project 3: 2D Slingshot Game (Unity, C#)

Folder: Project_3_Slingshot

• A Unity 2D game inspired by Angry Birds, built with Unity’s physics engine.
• Implements slingshot mechanics, projectile physics, and simple object interactions.
• Scripts are written in C# using Unity’s MonoBehaviour system.

✅ To run: Open the folder in Unity Editor (Unity Hub > Add Project), and press Play in the Unity editor.

🛠 Technologies Used

• C++, CMake, Visual Studio
• Python (with PIL, NumPy, matplotlib)
• Unity, C#, Unity Physics
• Git & GitHub for version control

⚠️ Notes

• Build outputs (e.g., .exe, .obj, .pdb, Library/, etc.) are ignored using .gitignore to keep the repo clean.
• Projects are organized for clarity and version tracking, not deployment.
