Audio Visual Slider
An application I created at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the course content of a Dynamic Web 1 (JavaScript) course I was (and still am) teaching. We had just migrated to online learning, and I wanted to create an application that visualized what we were all feeling. I selected images that expressed those feelings, and synched the animations with the beat of music I chose. It was a rough time, but my students for that class were really amazing. I was truly inspired by them.

Canvas 2D Breakout Game
I always had wanted to be able to create games using the HTML5 Canvas 2D API, so I built (and refactored) a Canvas 2D Breakout Game inspired by one I came across on MDN.

Chattr public and private realtime chat
This is a refactoring of my original Node.js Express Socket.io app using the EJS (Embedded JavaScript) templating engine for the front end. I finally got to replacing EJS with React.

Dragging Bubbles App
I have always wanted to closely tie audio and audio volume controls with visual and creating multiple audio sources, which I tie to one input of type range. So what better way than with the HTML5 Web Audio and HTML5 Canvas 2D APIs!
