Jump!

Jump! is an educational game designed to aid migrant workers in Qatar in learning English.
I worked on Jump! as part of a team of 4 and this was a project for the class 15-239 Programming for Social Good in Spring 2014. We worked in collaboration with Reach Out To Asia (ROTA) and the game was designed to meet the specific needs of the students in their Adult English Literacy program (RAEL).
The project is live at jumpgame.herokuapp.com.

ScheduleCMU

ScheduleCMU is a schedule planning app designed for Carnegie Mellon students to plan their course schedule from the convenience of their computer or their smartphone.
I worked on ScheduleCMU as part of a team of 4 and this was our final project for the class 15-237 Cross Platform Mobile Web Apps in Fall 2012. I mainly worked on the back end of the project which involved a node.js server and a MongoDB database.
Our code can be viewed on Github.

Colors

Colors is a browser game that is based on the idea of graph coloring. I worked with Isaac Lim and Madeline Horowitz to make it during the PennApps hackathon in Fall 2013.
Players color the graph such that no two dots connected by a line have the same color. Graphs are randomly generated and an extra node is added in each new level, increasing its complexity. Each level has a time limit of 30 seconds.
Scoring is based on the level number as well as on the number of colors used in the coloring (lesser colors mean more points)
Do play it at colorsapp.herokuapp.com. I should warn you that it's highly addictive! You can also see our code on Github.

JPhotoBooth

JPhotoBooth is a JavaScript-based webcam tool. It allows you to draw on your video feed and save snapshots of your drawing. You can also upload the resulting pictures to Imgur and Facebook.
I worked on this with Tom Zhang and Austin Davis as a class project. We built the tool using the getUserMedia API, jQuery and Sketch.js.
