President Picker

Made for the 2020 presidential election, this is a randomizer I made to tell you who the next president will be... Or if you're a future humanoid reading this, I made this president picker to allow you to imagine what our fates could have been.

Breakout

In this tutorial series I followed by Mt. Ford Studios, we made a version of the classic 1976 game “Breakout” using pure vanilla JavaScript. I found this tutorial extremely valuable! It brilliantly demonstrates the ideas of object-oriented programming, proper tabulation, organization of code, and use of comments in your code. It really helped those ideas click for me, and at the end, I was able to add a few tweaks of my own. Some things I contributed to the version on my website are:

  • I added a title screen, instruction screen, and difficulty levels.

  • I added some additional sound effects for those screens, as well as when the ball falls out of screen, and for GAME OVER.

  • For mobile, I disabled the ability for the user to zoom, so they don’t accidently do it while playing the game.

  • Additionally, for mobile, I felt the paddle size became a little too narrow in portrait mode, so I made the paddle a little bit wider in that case.

  • Finally, I played around with some of the colors to incorporate some of my website’s color scheme into the game.
  • I hope you enjoy the game, and if you haven’t done so, please subscribe to Mt. Ford Studios and like his videos, he has some really cool stuff there.

    Tic Tac Toe

    In this tutorial series I followed by Coding in Flow, we made a Tic Tac Toe game using Java in Android Studio. I didn't add anything to the functionality of the game as my main purpose was to begin to familiarize myself with Java and Android Studio. I did, however, switch up the xml, changing the color scheme and customizing the application's icon in the manifest.

    I hope you enjoy the game, and make sure you subscribe to Coding in Flow and like the great videos there.
