About Halfdan Harring

I didn't come to games through a computer science degree — I don't have one. I came through years of trying to build businesses, discovering that every idea eventually needed software, and deciding to stop outsourcing the interesting part.

I taught myself to code the unglamorous way: freeCodeCamp at night, MDN always open in a tab, the React documentation read start to finish, and project after project shipped to real users. Client work through my studio JegUdvikler sharpened the engineering; my own apps under AppsMedHalfdan taught me product; and games became the place where everything gets pushed to its limit.

Games are the hardest software I know how to make. A CRUD app forgives you; a physics game where the jump feels 5% wrong does not. That's why I love them — every game on this site forced me to learn something I couldn't do before: writing a deterministic physics engine, simulating 3D dice with Rapier, or building native GPS plugins for a running game.

I work from Aarhus, Denmark, I speak Danish and English, and I recently became a father — which has done wonders for how ruthlessly I prioritise scope.
