Rubber Boom
This my second game available worldwide. First planned as a simple game, later turned out to be kind of a PhD project spanning into two years of hard work.
Percy Fawcett
The Last of the Great Explorers
It was the times that the world still has some regions waiting to be explored, and still
there was a chance that one single man could achieve incredible things.
But it's obvious that Fawcett was the last man trying it.
And he died (most probably) trying it.
Kalman Filter for Dummies
A memorable remnant from my failed PhD attempt...
And surprisingly, turned out to be my most successful
contribution to the world.
I hope it will help in your
future endeavors...

Melek Kobra
How it feels to die when you're only 25? To be buried with passions to be fulfilled, things to be done, a life to be lived. Melek Kobra lived in 1930s' Istanbul. In a country transforming itself and integrating to modern world. She was also an important figure of this transformation.

Sputnik is a news portal serves in dozens of languages which
naturally gives the Russian point of view, which you don't get from
other news sources.

Just forget the manipulative junkyard BBC. They'll never issue a
negative news of countries, that pay enough for advertisements.
The Independent is the trustworthy British news source you'll ever need.
