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:

Randomon Project

This was a project I made in my Programming class, a turn-based combat game simulator. The game randomly chooses which randomon to use in the battle. This was obviously inspired by the classic video game, Pokemon. You have weak moves and strong moves. You do more damage depending on your type and your opponents type. I used a 2d array to make the type-chart. The enemy AI selects a random move.

Die Hard: The Text Adventure Project

This text adventure game was also a project I made in my Programming class. You have an inventory system and can move around the building. The goal is to have the tools to beat the boss fight at the top. I used an arraylist to make the inventory system. You can go in do diffent rooms, certain rooms required keys to unlock.

Pixel Art: Super Mario Mushroom

This was my first project I did in my Programming class. I used the Painter class in java (on Code.org) to make this aninmation. This is similar to Python turtle. I made methods to have the process of programming each move to be easier. For the end, I wanted to try something new and made a loop and filled in all empty parts of the mushroom red. The final product I am very proud of.

• Internship at Tech Rocks

  • I assisted students with their technology when they needed help.

  • We also entertained the students during lunch; playing fun games.

• Job at University of Pacific.

  • I responsibly worked on my Data Entry job which was analyzing surveys that were filled out after a meeting to hear people's complaints and constructive criticism.

  • It was a eye opening experience to what job life looks like.

• An intro AI online class

  • The online class taught how to use AI tools in fun and creative ways.

  • I made a program that could recognize if a persons hand was shaped like a rock, paper or a pair scissors for the game Rock Paper Scissors using my computers camera.

• Coding Languages

  • Java

    I worked on Java projects during my Programming class that used a language model to respond to keyword and a turn-based combat game simulator

  • Lua

    I used Lua to make my 8-bit platformer (see above)

  • Python

    This was the first language I learned and I made a single player Mario Party inspired game with mini-games and coins
