Interactive Christmas Tree

Click the image above to play the interactive game. My assignment was to create a Java applet that enabled you to decorate a Christmas tree using Java’s primitive drawing functions, and enable user interaction using the mouse. I took this project several steps further, designing graphics and implementing a double-buffering system to make the Christmas tree look more inviting. I received a 1st class award for this project.

Shut The Box Game

Download the game by clicking the image above. The brief for this project was to: “plan, design, implement and test a Java program, to play the Shut the Box board game, that exhibits skills learned in the first semester of 2007″. My final grade for this project was a 1st class. The program still exhibits fairly primitive behaviour and a few small bugs, but these were deemed acceptable given the time constraints.
