AKA - MetallicGoat
I am a 21 year old aspiring software developer from Canada. I am currently enrolled in my third year of Engineering Systems & Computing at the University of Guelph. Online, I go by MetallicGoat. I am self taught in Java, and have 3 years of experience with it. I learned Java though working on Spigot plugins, and I am currently trying to teach myself Javascript, HTML, and CSS through the making of this site. This portfolio contains some projects I have worked on, some photos I have taken, as well as some background about them.

About Me
Software Projects
These are some projects I have worked on. Click a project's image to open its page. Most are completely my own, from start to finish, and for the ones that are not solely mine (ie. a project I collaborated on with someone) it will be mentioned in the top left of the project card

MBedwars
This project was NOT created by me, I help maintain it (I am not the main maintainer). It is the largest project I work on by a mile. It is made up of over 600 files. It is closed source, and it generally goes for 20 euros a copy. I have learned so much from working on this project, and have had so much fun playing around with what it can do. This is a closed source project.

MBedwars Tweaks
By far, my largest personal project (I contribute to larger projects). I have a love/hate relationship with this project. I have rewritten so many parts of this project so many times as my java skills have improved over the years. It is a colletion of various tweaks that were deemed to insignificant as an MBedwars feature.

Gen-Splitter
The oldest one of my project's that I still maintain. An addon for MBedwars that splits resources equally amongst players. Its very simple, but very effective.
Status: ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Extra-Special-Items
My favorite MBedwars addon! I created it to add some fun new items into the game. I learned a lot about timers/schedulers in java while working on this project. I find it the most enjoyable to work on as I get to be creative with how my custom items work.
Status: ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Prize Commands
My least favorite project. It is a very useful MBedwars addon, but not much fun to work on. It makes it easy for users to reward their players for playing games, and progressing.

Kinetic Kolor
An app that models 2D ball physics using rigid bodies. Gravity is determined by the device's accelerometer (if present) and by touch points. I originally built it in Godot, then ported it to WebAssembly to make it easier to run anywhere.

Dundas Weight Loss Clinic
The website for Dundas Weight Loss Clinic, built by my friend Russell Passmore and I for his Mom's clinic. The clinic is now winding down, and the site will eventually be sunset, though it remains up as of this writing.

EnviroAntiMWP
A tool developed to automate repetitive and time consuming data entry tasks for a large environmental firm. This tool was initially developed by me for a friend. Once the initial tool was built, my friend contributed bug fixes, and UI tweaks. See the GitHub page for a more complete writeup.

Fireball Jumping
One of my very first java projects. I created it for MBedwars, but before I joined as a contributor. It became much more popular than I thought it would, which inspired me to continue learning java. I have retired it, I have built its features directly into MBedwars, and MBedwars Tweaks.
Status: RETIRED PROJECT
IS4P
A website for a dog rescue called infinite support four paws. I had to put this project hold (School), but plan to come back to it soon. The plan is to move to next js (currently is using react and react-router), and migrate from css modules, to tailwind css.
Status: RETIRED PROJECT
Phaser Space Game
A very basic idle game created with JavaScript using the Phaser library. The purpose of the project was for me to learn JavaScript.
