Brock Cooper

Blackjack web application made with Ruby, Sinatra, and Ajax. This was my first experience using Sinatra or Ajax. I was provided the images of the cards but developed the logic and flow of the game myself. This was a very fun application to make and it taught me a lot about HTTP requests.

To-do web application made with Ruby on Rails and jQuery. This was the first Ruby on Rails application I made outside of a tutorial. I was given the user stories but created the layout and functionality of the application myself. This was just a simple application to increase my understanding of Rails.

My favorite about the project was learning to write rake tasks. I wrote a rake task (rake todo:delete_items) that will delete any tasks that have been open for 7 days, the idea being that any to-do tasks open for more than a week are not likely to ever get done. I used the Scheduler add-on in Heroku to run the rake task on a daily basis.

This is a frogger clone built with the HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript as the backend. I built this to learn more about the Canvas and object-oriented JavaScript.

This game plays almost exactly like Frogger where you need to get past the moving objects to get to the water. When you get to the water your points will increase and as your points increase so will the speed of the enemies.
