While I was on vacation, I brought my sketchbook along and drew pen and pencil sketches of whatever I found memorable or cool (e.g. monuments, scenery, movies)

I made an ASCII art generator in Python. Some parameters are implemented to help the user customize the contrast of the final piece

I've finished the vast majority of my React Native app called Genzou, a tool to make studying Chinese easier. The only part left is building/publishing it.

To improve on the Blot string art generator I made last time, instead of linking a Python program to which users would have to upload an image and then paste a converted image array, I created a serverless function with Vercel that allows users to generate string art from just an image URL.

Hello! I recently created a String Art Generator on Blot! Using a custom a python program, you too can upload and paste an image of your own choosing into Hack Club's Blot editor, where the program will then generate a piece of string art!
Making this algorithm was quite miserable 😅. Imagine spending 10+ hours debugging ~100 lines of code? Couldn't be me...
It was pretty difficult for me - difficult enough where I didn't even bother logging arcade hours, as I would spend literally an hour arranging and rearranging a couple of lines of code, and then logging thousands of lines of output just to try and see why the string art generator wasn't working 😔
The experience was still super fun though, and I'd like to say I'm happy with the results :)

Hello, I recently completed a simple 2P Fighting Game as part of Hack Club's Sprig project!
It's inspired by the old rock'em sock'em robots toys and fighting games like Street Fighter (although it's much simpler 😅)
It makes use of the limited number of inputs (WASD and IJKL) to allow two players to shuffle back and forth, throw punches, launch hadoukens, and deflect projectiles.

Hello, I recently completed a Chrome extension that allows you to type French accents with just a hotkey. No more Alt codes or French keyboards - this extension makes writing French on the computer all the more easier.
