Live Project Presentation

Bear Run

• This board game was created for a History and Culture of Games assignment by me and Kurt English.
• It actually turned out to be really fun and it's very simple to play. Much testing needs to be done to make it a more sound product.
• You can even try it out, I'd love to hear feedback or comments about the game.
• Here is a zip file containing the necessary materials required to play the game.

Projects

Website

• This website was built using revealjs. I am very interested in HTML/CSS and will continue to experiment with JavaScript.
• I plan on creating JavaScript games and hosting them on here for everyone's enjoyment.
