Networked snake game (2014)

Subversion repo: Google Code

A little game I started putting together in my final couple weeks of school. It's been a fun learning Python and attacking the networking design problems.

Python 2.x
Pygame

This project started started out as a collaboration with a middle school student I tutored for a few weeks. You might find it useful for a similar purpose. In the Google Code source browser, look for "single-player" under the "tags" directory. It's not a complete game but the purpose was to demonstrate OOP.

Softball Team Manager (2013 - 2014)

Subversion repo: Google Code

I love softball. I don't love management. So I started this to make it easier for myself and others to manage their teams and leagues and to put my new database knowledge into use. This project has unfortunately been on the backburner for a while because the database model is a little naive and not using a PHP web framework makes things difficult.

PHP
MariaDB/MySQL
XHTML/CSS

I have an instance of this project running that can be accessed publicly, but my database access code doesn't yet sanitize input, so there's no point in linking to it here. If you'd like to see it, shoot me an email.

Tellus (2010 - 2011)

Subversion repo: Google Code

Tellus is the (final) name Team Stratogee gave to our weather balloon project. The project is meant to lift a position and acceleration logger with a radio beacon. Check out our team blog at stratogee.net.

Tesseract (hypercube) (2009)

Git repo: Github

This little script rotates and projects a 4-D "cube" into 3-D space. It's not very easy to understand what's going on but a quick read of the Wikipedia page might help.

Gube Roldberg (2009)

Subversion repo: Google Code

A physics sandbox game. This was my first big team project for a class. I lead the design and implemented the main game loop and collision detection.
