My Projects
unLimited Recipes
PHP and MySQL
With its easy-to-use interface, the recipe website is a great place to share recipes. Aptly named unLimited, the goal is that allergies and other diet-related limitations should not limit one’s access to great recipes. Presently, the collection represents my friends’ favorites, irrespective of any limitation.
Powered by PHP and MySQL, the project incorporates many web development goodies, both from the frond end and backend. Check out the website, and feel free to add some of your own recipes! The code can be found at GitHub/leahscode.

Shopping App
Python with SQLite
A pretend shopping app, this program uses Tkinter and SQLite for an easy-to-use interface. SQLite is a small, one-file database, ideal for low-traffic applications. In this case, it is stored on the user’s computer, alongside the Python files. The program was adapted from a school project that used text files and demonstrates the use of classes and inheritance.
The code can be found at GitHub/leahscode.

RGB Color Game
JavaScript and jQuery
A robust web application, this game uses front-end web technologies for an exciting and educational game. Powered by jQuery, developing it utilized the core programming skills necessary for all software applications. Entirely self-taught, this game was developed before I even thought of attending school. One caveat: the code has no comments, as I was not aware of its importance at that point.
Go ahead, play the game. It is a great way to learn the RGB colors. Or just see the code at GitHub/leahscode.

Chocolate
The power of CSS
I was set out to determine how powerful CSS really. Well, if one is really determined, they can create an image simply by styling some div elements.
You can see the chocolate bar yourself, and even interact with it. The code can be found at GitHub/leahscode.

Slot Machine
C# with .NET
This dummy slot machine can be played without inserting real money. It is the perfect tool to explore how likely it is to net a win after multiple rounds. Powered by C# and .NET, it displays any of its ten images on each “reel”. A match equals a win. Go ahead, have a try.
The app, and its code, can be found at GitHub/leahscode.

Solitaire
Java
Completed in one free afternoon, this Java Solitaire game is played from the command line. My web-development professor, who taught Java for another group, suggested that I try it, just for fun. It demonstrates the use of classes, overloading, and other Java goodies.
The game rules are delineated in the PDF on GitHub/leahscode.
