FINN-2005

Personal Website

This repository contains the source code for my personal website, hosted using GitHub Pages.

🌐 Live Site: https://finn-2005.github.io/

The website acts as a hub for projects, experiments, and interactive technical explanations.

---

Website Structure

The site currently contains three main parts:

1. Portfolio – Main landing page linking to projects
2. SimLab – Interactive blog explaining game development concepts
3. KCC Student Portal – A static student dashboard interface

---

Portfolio

The main entry page of the website is:

/portfolio.html

This page serves as a central hub linking to projects, experiments, and tools hosted on the website.

---

SimLab

SimLab is an interactive blog focused on explaining foundational concepts used in game development, physics simulation, and rendering.

Each article includes an interactive canvas simulation so readers can visually explore how the systems work.

Topics currently covered

• Vector math and the dot product
• Spring physics and oscillation
• The classic game loop architecture

KCC Student Portal

The KCC Student Portal is a fully static student dashboard interface designed to simulate a college portal experience.

It is built entirely with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, making it deployable directly on GitHub Pages without any backend.

Features

• ✅ 100% Static – No backend required
• ✅ Responsive design (desktop, tablet, mobile)
• ✅ Dark/Light mode with localStorage persistence
• ✅ Modern UI built with Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI
• ✅ Fast and lightweight

Pages Included

• Dashboard – Overview of notices, assignments, and events
• Notices – College announcements
• Assignments – Coursework tracking
• Timetable – Class schedule
• Events – Upcoming college events
• Documents – Course materials and resources

Static vs Full-Stack Version (SimLab)

The version deployed on GitHub Pages has been modified to work as a static site, since GitHub Pages cannot run backend frameworks.

The original full-stack version of SimLab is included in:

simlab/_full_stack

The static version removes the FastAPI backend and Jinja templating, allowing the site to run entirely from static files.

---

Running the Full-Stack Version (SimLab)

To run the original FastAPI application locally:

1. Install Python

Python 3.10+ is recommended.

2. Install dependencies

pip install fastapi uvicorn jinja2 python-multipart

3. Start the server

From the _full_stack directory:

uvicorn main:app --reload

4. Open in browser
