Java Projects

Five small games and simulations. Student work, 2018–2021.

A collection of the small works I composed while learning Java: two playable games, a fireworks animation, a snowflake catcher, and a chemotaxis simulation.

The Minesweeper game board with revealed numbered tiles and flagged squares — Minesweeper

Java · game logic · playable in browser

The classic game, built from scratch: bombs are scattered at random across the field, and the player must uncover the board while marking the squares believed to hide them. Full source on GitHub.

The Asteroids game in play, a small spaceship surrounded by drifting asteroids on a starfield — Asteroids

Java · arcade physics · playable in browser

The classic arcade game: pilot a spaceship through a drifting asteroid field, shooting the rocks apart and slipping into hyperspace to survive. Full source on GitHub.

Bursts of colored fireworks rendered against a night-dark canvas — Fireworks

Java · animation · color study

A fireworks animation built to practice object-oriented programming, with color and motion as the subject.

The snowflake catcher in play, white flakes drifting down toward a drawn catching line — Snowflake Catcher

Java · drawing · interaction

A small program in which the player catches falling snow by drawing a line beneath it — an exercise in basic interaction.

The chemotaxis simulation, small organisms scattered across the field moving toward food — Chemotaxis

Java · simulation · emergent behavior

A simulation of organisms moving toward food and consuming it — simple rules producing emergent behavior.
