Experience
Superlinkx Tech Thoughts
Project Helium
A 2D, vertically scrolling, top-down shooter I wrote in HTML5 and JavaScript when HTML5 was just becoming implemented in browsers.
I never completed all the features I planned for it because the codebase was getting cluttered. However, it is a fully functional game complete with a high score.
