Games to pass the time

About the Site:

This site started its life as a project submission to display my HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery skills. Over time, I intend to add more to the site. So please bear with me.

About me:

I started my professional career as an Architectural Technician. For over 5 years I worked on a varity of projects:

  • Large Residential Complexes
  • Retail Fitouts
  • One Off Houses
  • Protected Structures
Then came 2009! as with a lot of my peers, I found myself trying to get any kind of work. After a number of years, I was able to enroll in a part- time degree course in IT. During the 4.5 years I was exposed to a number of programing languages, and so began my interest in programming. I have now enrolled in a Full-Stack Software Development course provided by the Code Institute .

  • Simon Says!

  • Simon is an electronic game of memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, working for toy design firm Marvin Glass and Associates, with software programming by Lenny Cope. The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over. The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language code was written by Charles Kapps, who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s.
