Formal Usability Testing of Splash Dash
May 2024
After completing my Splash Dash game, I conducted formal usability testing to make improvements. This included creating a test plan, recruiting participants, and conducting the tests. The testing was conducted with 5 participants who were asked to complete a series of tasks while thinking aloud. The results of the tests were then analyzed and used to improve the game.
Splash Dash
February 2024 - May 2024
Made as part of my course IS360, Splash Dash was my first intro into game development using the Unity Game Engine. As the course progresses, however, I got a little carried away. At the time of it's "completion" Splash Dash included an array of features including character selection, level selection, and mobile UI controls. The game featured voice actors for each character and was completly hand-drawn and then scanned into Paint3D using a scanner to give the characters a classic cartoon feel. Each character is animated as well. Most of the game is coded using C#. The game was made to help raise awarness of the growing problem of pollution. Playing as an array of different sea creatures the player must collect as much trash as possible before time runs out! The game has since been deployed in PC, Android, and WebGL formats.
Target Tag
November 2023 - December 2023
This was my first ever made from scratch, large, programming project. It was made as a collaboration with two other students, but it went far beyong the requirments of the course project. Target Tag is a JavaFX based game incorporating many features including a computer controlled opponent and randomly moving obstacles. The game features several modes for difficulty adjustments and co-op modes. The goal of the game was to collect 20 randomly spawning targets before your opponents. Unfortunantly JavaFX cannot easily be ran in a browser, so this game is only playable through an IDE. I will hopefully be able to include a downloadable release for the game someday.
Connect 4
September 2024
A simple Connect4 game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I usually arrange my projects top down based on date, but this one fit so well with the Tic Tac Toe game it just had to go here. This website was build using personal skills and the integration of AI prompts with Microsoft Copilot and Google's Gemini to speed the development process. I would like to thank Ania Kubow for the basic function starter template to this game. Her repository can be viewed here https://github.com/kubowania/connect-four/tree/master.
Small Business Website
September 2022 - November 2022
This was a demo website I attempted to make for my familys' beekeeping business as part of my first Information Systems course. This was my first ever experience with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It was never finished, but I do hope to possibly turn it into an eccomerce site someday.
