As of November 3rd, 2018, I have started programming my first game in my spare time with one of my friends. My friend came up with an extreme version of tic-tac-toe, and we decided to make a website and an online version of the game for others to enjoy. With me programming the game in Java and my friend converting that into JavaScript, we are working towards creating this weird and random game together.

Considering I am pursuing game design and development as a career, this artifact was a an obvious choice to highlight. Not only has it challenged me to use all of my current Java knowledge, but it’s making me apply those skills in new and innovative ways. In addition, pursuing this project will give me real-time experience with working with a team, and it will improve my communication skills in the scope of video game development.
