For the final project of my "Introduction to Computing with Python" course, my partner and I worked on the "Alien Invaders" game. This game is similar to the "Space Invaders" game in which the player has to shoot all of the aliens before getting killed. The video on the right is a demonstration of one full game of our version.
We implemented the functions needed to make the controls and movements of the characters work. The functions were grouped based on the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern.

For the final project of my "Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures" course, my partner and I worked on optimizing the path that an explorer takes to traverse a maze. Given a limited number of steps, the explorer has to take as few steps as possible to find an orb in the maze, revealing where the gold is. Once the gold is revealed, the explorer has to collect as much gold as possible and exit the maze before his step limit runs out. The video on the right shows a non-optimized path vs. our optimized solution.
For our solution, we used a combination of recursion, looping, calculation of steps, and mapping of the maze. We coded our program using Java through Eclipse.
