Judgement Day (J-day) is a retro game based on the Terminator franchise. A top-down shooter game with interactive enemies, difficulty progression, arcade style music and game sounds. Using solely the kaboom.js framework to implement various functions and colliding objects that combines to give the user a unique game play as well as nostalgic experience. This project was for a Hackathon, where I worked on a team with 6 others (the Terminaltors). I really enjoyed it and was happy to get the chance to use the Kaboom.js library again. This time around, I also had the responsibility of being Scrum Master, which I really enjoyed.

A project I produced with a group during a hackathon in October of 2023, a Halloween theme was the only requirement and we decided on a cluedo based Halloween game. A thrilling murder mystery game, inspired by the classic board game "Cluedo." In our quest to provide an engaging and interactive experience, we've crafted a unique digital adventure that challenges you to use your detective skills to solve a captivating murder mystery.

My First project learning HTML and CSS languages in the early stages of the Full Stack development Course with Code Institute. The site promotes a local men's shed group that run a cycling club for elder gentlemen.

My second project with Code Institute. Inbetweens is a card game I played as a teenager, it’s a betting game usually played for money. The game will be adapted for the purposes of this project. In later years as a teacher, I adapted games like this to help my students to understand the concept of probability and chance and they found it very enjoyable and learned quickly to ascertain high and low probabilities and the highs and lows of risk-taking.
