SWGOH Tracker
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>, <Perl>, <JSON>I have been playing a mobile game, Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes for a bit. I really liked a tracking website, so I made my own tracker inspired by that website over a month or so. Version 2 added a bunch of features including graphics and a whole settings system.
Transformations Game
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>, <Git>I re-programmed an old game I made in Visual Basic at some summer teacher conference about computer animation. It's a game to help students practice their knowledge of coordinate transformations.

jQuery RPG
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>, <Git>This web app was featured on the site that hosts the school as a thing that people can make when they take this class. So I guess that's good. I tried to be funny, as well. Maybe I could be a programmer after all if I just worked hard at it? So, no, then.

Racing Game
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>, <Git>I took a class in spring of 2015 on HTML/CSS/jQuery. I do that when I think about career change. It was part one of a four-part path to becoming a programmer. But do I really want to do that? CAN I really do that now that I'm old? This game is a good indicator that maybe I shouldn't. I got a good grade on this, though.

Crayon Sorter
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>, <Git>More of my work from the class I took. This is an exploration of sorting principles. I wanted to know how to sort by color, so I spent a lot of time figuring that out. The animation is pretty bad so I didn't get a spectacular grade on this one.

<jQuery>, <HTML>I posed an extra credit problem in class but didn't have the right answer. So I brute forced it!

Seating Chart Creator
<jQuery>, <CSS>, <HTML>I'm working on a simple seating chart maker. Well, I have big plans for it (seating by demographic, preferential seating, etc.), but lost motivation a bit, so it might never get done. Right now, it's just a basic randomizer of whatever names you type in.
