Hey there 👋

Here I document my projects, experiments, and random thoughts about software development. I’m mainly a backend developer, but I also build web-based games, with a strong focus on networking and server-side logic.

Stuff I built:

🔗 Notblox.online — a Roblox-style platform for the web, open-source: https://github.com/iErcann/notblox/
🔗 NotStrike.online — a single-player Counter-Strike–inspired demo
🔗 multi.NotStrike.online — the multiplayer version with client-side prediction, lag compensation, and more (development paused for now)

I also post videos about my work on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@iercan1234

I use Linux exclusively (Pop!_OS).

Building a Multiplayer Roblox-like engine in the Browser

DRAFT POST NOT FINISHED. I’ve been creating web games for a while now. I remember doing my first ones around 2017, following YouTube tutorials by Daniel Shiffman, which introduced me to p5.js a JavaScript library that makes it easy to create graphics and interactive content in the browser. Some of my old p5.js projects from 2017-2018 Getting Into Multiplayer Games I like multiplayer games. That’s why I started learning about networking, multiplayer architectures, hosting backends, and so on. ...

Why I Made This Blog

I’ve always wanted a place to show what I do, even the mistakes and the weird trials along the way. Most of my projects end up in private GitHub repos I never touch again.. Nothing here has to be perfect. Developing is messy, full of trial and error, and that’s okay. I just want to show some projects I work on, the experiments I try. Hopefully this can inspire or help someone, or at least give a peek into stuff I’m working on in my free time :) ...
