Early life and education
Agarwal grew up in Fairfax, Virginia. He later attended Virginia Tech and graduated with a degree in computer science.Career
In 2006, at the age of nine, Agarwal created his first website, called Kidcrash, using a WYSIWYG editor, which compiled several of his favorite Adobe Flash games. He then began programming on Scratch and made a "knockoff" of Wipeout (2008 game show), ''Wipeout'' at the age of 12. Afterward, he learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In high school, Agarwal created a mobile game, called ''Toast Man''. He then created web-based projects on the website Kamogo such as ''Silicon Valley Idea Generator'' and ''Text to Hodor''.neal.fun
In 2017, Agarwal launched his website, neal.fun, after which he began programming and listing his games on it. He worked on several of his first few games, like ''Spend Bill Gates' Money'', as a student at Virginia Tech at the time. His creations had been inspired by his own upbringing with Adobe Flash games on the internet, or what he called the "Weird Web 1.0": "I would always go down these long rabbit holes. Almost all the sites I visited were by solo creators or small teams of people. It felt like much more of an independent web." By the time Agarwal graduated from Virginia Tech, he was able to make a full-time living from ad revenue on neal.fun, after which he continued to create more games and commit to neal.fun as a contribution to a possible "Weird Web 2.0." He additionally runs Just For Fun, a website that showcases other instances of "creative coding." Briefly, Agarwal worked at MSCHF before deciding to focus on neal.fun fully.Works
