<description>I will walk you through how to create a form in Angular, and how to connect it to Netlify's Form functionality. We’ll create a contact form in our Angular component and a hidden form in index.html for Netlify's bot to reckognize it. It's also important to add a hidden input field in both forms to help Netlify identify the form submission.</description>

<description>Toki is a game where you control time. Stop objects with your stasis gun and collect time capsules in this 2D platformer. I used Phaser and Spine2D to create a minimalistic, smooth looking game with vector graphics. The game won the decentralized challenge, featured in the GitHub blog post, and placed 33 overall out of 200 entries during the Gamedev.js gamejam in 2023.</description>
