Ilya Lyakhovets
Software Developer
A passionate computer programmer who has been coding since 2009. After spending countless hours playing video games since 1997, starting in early childhood, I decided to turn my passion into a software developer career. I am proficient in C/C++ and have experience with other programming languages such as C# and Assembly, as well as game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.

A small cross-platform game engine/library, which was made for personal game projects and educational purposes. It uses modern OpenGL for rendering and OpenAL for sound.
A space program simulator where players design and build their own rockets from a variety of parts, launching them into orbit, to the Moon, and beyond.
A voxel sandbox video game made for fun, with the goal to replicate the Minecraft experience to explore the complexities of procedural generation, and archive the highest frames per second possible through real-time rendering techniques and highly optimized world management.
A tennis simulator based on real physics, aiming to replicate the nuances of professional tennis, from top-spin aerodynamics to surface-specific bounce behavior. The game uses a keyboard and mouse together, allowing players to have unrestricted freedom to manipulate the racket in real-time, making every slice, lob, and serve a direct result of manual precision rather than pre-programmed hits.
A puzzle video game inspired by Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks’ Revenge. The game offers everything the original does, but with more new tools and tiles. Also, levels have no size limit, meaning they can be even bigger than in the original game.
A high-performance library for loading, saving, and manipulating Targa (.tga) image files in a variety of formats, including uncompressed, run-length encoded, color-mapped, 16-bit or 8-bit black-and-white, and 32-bit or 16-bit true-color images, focusing primarily on loading textures as fast as possible, decreasing loading times in video games.
Another clone of Atari's Asteroids (1979) video game written on x64 MASM assembly.
A classic Minesweeper clone that has an automatic difficulty adjustment feature that adapts to your skill level.
A classic puzzle video game where you play as a robot who has to move boxes to their marked spots. Unlike other Sokoban games, you control the pusher with your mouse instead of the keyboard, providing a better, more intuitive experience.
Features:
• 8 built-in episodes with 918 levels in total.
• Ability to play custom episodes.
• In-game editor.
Yet one more Tetris! Just For Fun! Also, a Unity port of this game was made.
A custom-made lightweight synchronization manager that helps you synchronize files and folders across different locations. SyncManager lets you synchronize your data using three synchronization modes: manually, automatic (adaptive), or automatic (fixed). Manual syncing mode lets you decide what and when to synchronize data, while automatic (adaptive) mode synchronizes data based on its average synchronization time, and automatic (fixed) mode synchronizes data at predetermined intervals. It also offers three distinct synchronization types: two-way, one-way, and one-way update, allowing you to synchronize data between folders in different ways. Furthermore, it has filtering and customizable versioning settings. You can also decide how to handle old versions of files and folders: move them to the trash, delete them permanently, or version them in a special folder. The utility is primarily designed to run in the system tray, but it can also function without system tray interaction, operating as a fully automated solution that seamlessly launches at system startup.
A utility for instant grammar correction in any text field via keyboard shortcut, powered by Large Language Models (LLM). Grammar Checker utilizes the OpenAI API, supporting both OpenAI and Google Gemini models (It is possible to add other custom models via config), and requires an API key to function. Simply select the text you want to check and trigger the assigned shortcut. Grammar Checker can be automatically launched on startup and run in the system tray. The main window provides a user-friendly interface where you can assign any specific keyboard shortcut for triggering grammar checks or adjust the prompt requirements to align with your specific writing needs, such as translating text into different language or something else.
Experimental text-to-speech utility via keyboard shortcut, powered by Large Language Models (LLM).
A source code counter for personal use that helps you measure your source code, such as the number of source files, lines, lines of code, comment lines, comment words, and blank lines. It also can compare the changes in these metrics since the last time you measured them or save your projects so you can easily access them later.
A file encryptor for personal use that later became obsolete after I found a better, more efficient way to do it.
