About me

Hi, my name is Henry, and I'm an 11th-grade student at Drew High School. My interests include gaming, video game creation, and moding. I also dabble in writing short stories and read comic books in my free time. This website was made in pure HTML without any help from sites such as Google sites. With some help from my dad, my site was typed out in visual studio with HTML and CSS.

Projects

Twine

twine project for UCSC class

Scratch

This is my scratch profile, it's where I've made lots of games. However I have stopped working on Scratch and now exploring different game engines. By the way, if you click the screen below while playing my recreation of the retro game, Duck Hunt, (which I made in 8th grade) you can shoot the ducks. If you wish, you can go to my proflie and click the project one my page to see inside and look at all of the blocks of code that went into this. Note that this was not a remix of any other persons project.

Minecraft

Skyblock is a game I made where the player must survive on one island against four other teams. I made each of the islands fair and balanced with each other island having different resources (i.e. Diamonds, Redstone, Villagers) to incentivize trading amongst each of the islands.

Here is some other creations that I built:

8-Bit Mario Storage Unit TV Living Room

Repl

I have worked on many Python projects for my computer science class using Repl

Mario Party (text adventure game)

Hangman (text-based guessing game)

PICO-8

Here is a game I built using PICO-8 with LUA coding languages. In the online summer class I took to make this, I saw a lot of people making platformers staring a robot in a grassy field. In my game, I turned that idea on its head and made a grassy creature platform across a robotic environment. Of course, the game only has one section but I plan on adding some more in the future.
