Coding

After taking online classes through Coursera from Rice University, University of London, and University of Illinois, I was able to create some games from Python and Java.

I programmed games such as

A coloring book
Asteroids
Pong
Memory matching game

These are designed to be reminiscent of early video games and childhood favorites.

Coloring Book (Built with Processing)
