battlesnake 2019
competing in battlesnake for the third year, my team of two completed a quick iteration of last year's snake
last year's snake was able to survive indefinitely, but as it grew it would always turn in on itself
this year, we solved this by making a rudimentary straight-line, depth-limited bfs which proved useful. unfortunately, we were taken out by more advanced snakes in the first round. we did beat four bounty snakes though, so onto next year!
dungeons and dragons helper
a website that will allow for one to create character sheets for dnd 5e I have recently restarted this project as of 3 march in order for it to be finally fully realized
future plans:
- allow for dms to create their own campaigns to track characters per campaign
- dynamic initiative scheduler as per improved initiative
- i want to get my d&d campaign using this helper
- include a spell list with filters and search capability
- make the game easier for people to play, without constantly looking at definitions of things
learning more on java web applications
at this point in time I was actively learning more about the java programming language and how it intersects with web development
key learning points:
- parsing json
- working with aws
- deploying web applications to vms
react tictactoe game
what was this?
- a first attempt at learning some react
- made a quick little tictactoe game in order to learn a little on how react renders
electron stock ticker
what was this?
- a first attempt at learning some electron
- the goal of this project was to make a desktop application that was constantly running and updating
- depending on your choice, it called an API with that company as a variable
- the stock price would be shown and would update every 2 seconds while showing an increase/decrease/same price
