The Way of the Coder
"So", I asked myself, "maybe I can look at these different paths I've taken and see where they all connect." This point of connection was coding!

A small machine learning project. Machine learning is a great buzz word in these times, but it still does not have the right merit. To understand it better, I created a small perceptron that had a line with above it 1's and below it 0's. The machine had to learn where the line should go.

To create a simple little app or other software quickly, we can use an API. As a user of internet I can quickly connect to a vast amount of data on a server. I used a twitter api called 'Twit' and a Youtube Search Api, and created my own monster that can use both. I automated tweeting about videos I posted on my Youtube channel.

Counter Strike is a game I played since I was 12 years old and I have fond memories of those days. But I needed to know how got I still was. Therefore I created a stats tracker with the use of https://tracker.gg/csgo as API. Fill in your Counter Strike: Global Offensive ID number and check how much of a n00b you are (compared to me).

More information about this project on the 'Wisekrakr Games' page. This one was my first 'real' project to create a tiny game engine that could help me make games easier in the future. With the help of libraries as LibGDX and Ashley. By doing this, I showed myself that I had the skill to create something big out of nothing.

As a gamer I played so many FPS games, it's sickening. To understand more of what goes behind a game like that, I created a tiny one of my own. Coding a game like this is not that difficult. The difficulty, for me, lies in the animations and graphical aspects in a 3D world. It was a total new experience for me, but not something I would revisit soon.

For a game jam called js13kGames I entered this game. Made within three weeks in Javascript, from scratch, without any external libraries and it had to be 13k zipped. As well as a great learning method to teach myself javascript fast, it was also a great social experiment for me. To get to know the gaming dev community and how most are helpful and honest.

A small web app where we can search for our favorite movies, with the help of axios. Axios makes requests or promises from the browser by way of an API. In this case I am using the Omdb API. The api makes a request for a movie name for instance, the backend will request the Omdb server for that name, and the frontend will show the result to the user. This is a simple beginners app to learn the difference between frontend and backend and to understand what it means to do requests.

A small company requested a website for their book about Bitcoins and Crypto, as a marketing tool. For that reason I created a simple multilingual landing page with a embedded ticker widget and cryto market widget. It is a responsive website, so it also look great on mobile apparatuses. It also was deployed on Netlify.

I made another search app, only this time for music. Search for lyrics and info about artists. By way off both the MusixMatch and Last.fm API. I also used a json file for a full list of countries to easily create top10's for all the countries. In this project I also finally tries to create animations for certain components in the DOM. Although the site itself looks simple, the funcionality is great. Everything I tried to accomplish in this project, got done. So now it was time to go a step further.

The World's Interconnective Study Experience is a social network site for people who like to learn and also teach others. It is used as a hub for everything that you know and would like to know. You can create a study item and add documents so that other can learn from your studies. People can form a "classroom" and discuss a certain topic together, all in the name of knowledge gathering. It is build with React, a javascript library for building user interfaces. I used MongoDB as a database, Express as a web framework and of course Node.js as runtime environment: The MERN Stack.
