A few years ago I saw this article challenging people to make pong in any language and decided to design Pong in Java. At that time I had taking Java in high school for about 5 months, but we were still no where near making applets. I had already designed Chess and Checkers, and even though they were basic, they gave me the knowledge I needed to develop pong. Of course this version of pong is really outdated because I have learned a lot since, but I have not felt the urge really to go back and change. The AI is a bit strange since it follows the ball and randomly goes the opposite direction that it does not track the ball perfectly and I developed a new AI that finds where the ball will land and attempts to go that point, but I haven’t implemented it yet. Writing this post makes me realize just how many unfinished projects I have.
The user statistics of my app.
Have you ever used Facebook? You have, have you? Well then I built a great application for you. The Have You Ever Facebook application. I built this Facebook application last year in a night, but never blogged about it. It was down for a few months while I upgraded my webhost, but now it is back up and slightly improved. I currently have over 3000 current users and approximately 250 monthly active users which has increased from about 150 before I upgraded it last week. This application allows you to ask your friends a question and have them respond yes or no to the question. I am trying to improve this application so that it can do more things, but I will to sort out the source code. In order to create this application I had to use the Facebook Develper’s PHP api. I learned a lot from this project. I got the idea to create this application from the game we had to play at college orientation. We stood in a circle with some sort of marker where we stood. Then someone in the center calls out something that they have done or are wearing etc and everyone who has also has to move to a new spot.
