/Code
I’ve been coding since I was very young, which is probably part of the reason that I’m such a nerd, or vice versa. The first experience I had with programming was using Hypercard on Macs during grade school. In high school, I took several classes in Basic and Visual Basic, and now I’ve branched out into Python, PHP, Scheme, and other fringe languages. My latest coding interests lie in web development.

Markov Image Generator
This is the final project that Nate Smith and I did for Software Design. It was programmed in Python and completed during second semester of our freshman year. The program analyzes the probability that a certain colored pixel will have certain surroundings in an existing photo, and then uses this probability information to build a new image that is based on the original. You can get some pretty interesting results!
Required: Python, PIL, TKInter (included in Python), GUI (included in this package)
Brickout
This is a clone of the classic game Breakout. The object of the game is to break as many blocks as possible with the ball while keeping it in play with the paddle. This version features power-ups such as Drunken Ball and Strobe Ball and a high score system to keep track of your best rounds. The game is programmed in Visual Basic, but it uses no objects and runs fairly quickly.
Requires Windows and at least a 500 Mhz processor and 128 MB of RAM to run smoothly.
Checkers
This is Checkers for your PC made with Visual Basic. It has nice graphics, small file size, a professional installer and uninstaller, and the option to play against another human or the computer. I programmed the AI myself. It isn’t brilliant, but it isn’t stupid either.
There are also some fun bugs and a secret game editing mode, but you’ll have to find those yourself.
Compatible with Windows 98 or higher.
24th Street Rumble
24th Street Rumble is a street racing game set on 24th Street W in Billings, MT. It is programmed in QBasic. Race your way to the top of the ranks by upgrading your car with new parts! Increase your crowd approval rating! Avoid policemen and shopping carts! This is old school racing.
Requires Windows to run.
