Web Design & Development
An interactive hacking simulation that showcases terminal-based commands and network visualization in a gamified experience.
CyberMatrix was created as a personal exploration into gamified web experiences, simulating a terminal environment where users could interact with a fictional hacking system.
The goal was to make a fun, engaging interface that allowed users to experience "hacking the mainframe" through simple, playful commands and animations.
We approached CyberMatrix with a focus on immersion and playful interactivity:
We brainstormed ways to make the experience look and feel like a real terminal without overwhelming users, settling on a dark theme, neon highlights, and typewriter-style animations.
We implemented JavaScript-based fake terminal commands where users could "hack" the system by running a simulated function directly from the browser.
We created a "Network Visualization" animation at the bottom of the page to make the site feel dynamic and alive, enhancing the hacking simulation.
A sleek, cyberpunk-inspired design system was created to deliver a sense of mystery, excitement, and fun.
