10/30: First journal entry. So far I've made this basic website and published it on github through a series of terminal programs. I still don't know how to make the plane work on the home page but I will get there. I have all my pages, though, I just need to add some features to make it more interesting.
Helicopter Project: This is an event listener that moves a gif across the screen. Typing triggers an animation (and it also says "mayday" in the console). Originally I wanted it to fall also, so you could land it, I will try and incorporate that feature later.
Cool Button Project: This is more of an artistic feature for a website. I'm not using it anywhere because of the plane design I chose instead. I learned how to make this from a guy who was giving an example lesson to become Molly's sub.
The Image Above: This is a fun little project I made with a click event listener. The way it works is it has a variable that increases with each click, and if it is divisible by two one image is shown, if not the other. This is one of my favorite projects.
Bottles Event Listener: This one is a simple project where if you click a bottle is created. I'm hoping to improve it so if you click a certain key or something like that one of the bottles shatters. I don't quite know how to do that yet, but I will try to get it working after break.
Plane Crash: A while ago, I started working on a project where if you clicked on something the computer would give you warnings, and if you continued to click something would happen. I didn't really know where to go from there, though. I finally finished it recently, and I like the product.
Wordle Guess: I wanted to explore randomness and also make a project that was kind of cool. I also wanted to work on javascript click/press activation where it changes something in the body. Overall I like the simplicity and maybe I'll make it more sophisticated in the future.
Christmas Tree: This is my most ambitious project I started a few months ago and haven't really followed up on. It is a little too advanced right now, I'll try and improve it in the future.
Lost Counter: This is definitely the most advanced project I have actually completed. It is a relatively simple counter, but I like how it is going. It is my main project and I will continue to add visuals and more.
Array Browser: We learned arrays in class and I wanted to try and apply that to a search feature that would tell you about specific items if you searched for them. It is a work in progress, I will try and make the UI better, also make it more specific like a taxonomy archive or something. Lexie helped a lot with filtering and js.
