Programming Projects
Programming gave me another way to turn game ideas into rules a computer could follow. Working on larger programs also changed the way I organized projects like Meteor Mayhem. It taught me that changing one line can fix the problem, create three new ones, or somehow do both.
Godot and GDScript
Using a supplied starter framework, I developed three distinct character abilities, a limited switching meter, projectiles, breakable objects, and a complete cave route over seven working days in a two-week Urban Arts course.
Certification
Foundational certification covering Python syntax, algorithms, data types, containers, functions, conditions, loops, exceptions, and the Python Standard Library.

Each project gave me one new idea to learn and something interactive to build with it. The demonstrations and preserved source repositories show both the finished programs and the code behind them.
Project 01
I wanted to see whether I could make a navigable game world using only text and keep track of what the player collected along the way.
The inventory system was the part I was proudest of. Looking back, I would make picked-up items disappear from their rooms instead of letting the room act like nothing changed.
More rooms—and better tracking of how the world changes after the player interacts with it.
Project 02
I wanted to turn rules I already understood as a player into rules the computer could check for itself.
Checking every win state took the longest. I also had a bug where a card would not draw correctly, which made a familiar game start doing impossible things.
It was funny how often I still lost to the dealer after writing the dealer. If I kept working on it, I would add visuals so the game was easier to read at a glance.
Project 03
I wanted to combine a visual interface with an incremental game where the system changed as the player kept making orders.
The upgrade system took the longest because every improvement had to change what happened next without breaking the rest of the loop.
The random order generator and the visuals became the parts I was most proud of. With another week, I would add better visuals and more stations.
Project 04
I wanted to combine graphics and game rules in a program that had to remember four players at the same time.
Getting the pieces around the board took the longest. One bug only appeared when a piece was sent backward and reached one specific corner. That was as annoying to find as it sounds.
The mystery blocks were the feature I was weirdly proud of. I would make the board bigger and add more spaces that actually change the game.
Source Code
Each repository contains the available source and a README describing what was preserved. The Blackjack archive is incomplete because its companion InfoClass file is missing.
