Hangman Terminal App

This is a command line app made using Ruby. I wanted to make something fun that could provide a bit of entertainment and thought about how much I loved playing Hangman with my Dad growing up so I decided to make my own version. Because I'm a huge cat lover I included a lot of ASCII cats to try and make it a little bit more interesting. So far I haven't been able to find any way to break it but please feel free to clone the repo and give it a try yourself! You can play with friends or there's a single player mode.

Pixel Dabbing Unicorn

This is a pure CSS pixel art dabbing unicorn that I made. Why a dabbing unicorn? Why not? He's fabulous. I wanted to play around with CSS a bit and also make something fun so I had a look for some images online and thought this guy was too cute not to try and replicate. He's made using two divs, one for the pixel art itself and the other is there for positioning, and SCSS because there were so many colours and I find naming variables a lot more intuitive using SCSS.

Pixel Charmander

This little guy is another CSS pixel art project. If you're anything like me you probably grew up playing a lot of pokemon as a kid. I wanted to keep playing around with CSS pixel art so I made Charmander. If you go and visit my codepen you'll find that I've made all of the original starters as well as Pikachu, because who doesn't love that little electric mouse. Making CSS pixel art is something I find really relaxing so I might add the second generation starters as well.

Portfolio Website

This is where you are! My portfolio website. This website is designed to showcase my skills and my projects. It also serves as a bit of an introduction to who I am. This site was made using HTML and SCSS. I wanted to ensure the site was accessible so all colours have been tested to ensure they're WCAG AAA compliant and I have also tried to ensure that semantic HTML tags have been used to make sure the page is accessible to devices such as screen readers. I tested a few different themes for the site but found this combination of dark blue with green and pink accents to be the most appealing to me.

Hackathon Project

This is a super fun project made in 2.5 days for a JavaScript Hackathon. The brief was to make a site using HTML, CSS and JavaScript and to use an API. I worked with a partner and it was a great experience to get used to some more pair programming and to use branching with Git for each feature and to get used to a forking workflow. I used HTML, SCSS, Bootstrap and JavaScript to make the site. There are 6 APIs included, 3 for buttons and the front page and 3 pages used APIs as well. This was a great opportunity to get used to making API calls and to get comfortable using programs like Postman. I really enjoyed making this project and using it as a learning experience.
