Responsibilities:

Used JavaScript to make a side-scrolling platformer game, similar to levels in the Mario Bros. series. The camera forces the player to move from left to right, and the player must keep hopping across platforms until he/she falls. This was a solo project.
Created all of the sprite textures using free software called Piskel.
The game has three platform heights (low, middle, and high) and three types of platforms (stationary, vanishing, and ascending). Platforms are randomly generated. As time progresses, difficulty increases due to a steady increase in camera speed.

Responsibilities:

Used SpriteKit to create a game where blocks are moved to make matches, similar to Bejeweled. This was a solo project.
Created all of the sprite textures using free software called Piskel.
The game implements an advanced pattern-matching algorithm that runs on a fixed time interval. For example, the algorithm can determine if there is a match of three vertically and a match of three horizontally (e.g., “L” shape). Upon determining a match, the game uses a sound effect to notify the player and deletes the matching blocks; the remaining blocks then fall into place.
The aforementioned functionality was created within just one week.
