This is a character creation tool written in my spare time for myself and my friends using Python in Eclipse. It compiles information from multiple source materials, allowing the end user easy access.

As a creation tool, the program allows users to select from dozens of classes, including prestige and epic classes and hundreds of powers, feats, and equipment options, to customize their character. It calculates character stats as new opportunities are chosen, allowing users to see the effects of various choices they can make immediately.

It features a display created with the Tkinter toolset and allows the saving and loading of character files and output in the HTML format for easy printing.

Adventure Planner was built as an add-on for my character creation program (Char4th).

At its core, it is a file manager. A given node can be associated with multiple other nodes, allowing a file to be found in various locations. The intent was to allow for a robust organization system, with every file able to be associated with a variety of similar files.

As it was written to aid in running the same game as the Char4th program, it was created as an add-on, allowing character save files to be opened directly through the application.

It interacts directly with the Char4th program and must be installed in the same directory and run on Adv Planner.pyw to function. Included are a few sample files to show the basic use of the program.

This project was designed to help someone run a game of Quantum Werewolf.

Quantum Werewolf is as much a complex math problem as it is a game. It makes light of the original "Schrodinger's Cat" problem by combining the idea with a popular party game.

The link attached describes the game as it was originally created.

The program I created would assign each player a secret number, and then identify each player's chance of being any given role in the game. These numbers would update as the game proceeds, with the person running the game inputting each player's decisions into the program and showing the players the new results after each turn.

This program was created to keep an inventory of the game library at conventions and events where Foam Brain was in charge of the game room.

This program would work with a barcode scanner to check out games, saving a database of which games were checked out, at which times, by whom.

Using these records, we were both able to keep track of our board game inventory, as well as have a record of which games were most popular at any given event.

This program was designed to check certain websites for up-to-date pricing of collectible card games. The program was designed to check multiple websites, and could search prices for multiple card games, including Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering.

As these collectibles had prices which could change on a daily basis, this program would allow our staff to check on prices very quickly, and also allowed up to create an up-to-date purchase list on demand.
