• The game I'm working on --ForgeCraft-- It's currently in a Private Repo, but here's a little teaser -- ForgeCraft is a nostalgic, idle, clicker game that blends survival, a rich story-line, and resource-hoarding. You play as Gerald, a hapless man whose family has gone missing during the Great Mutant Revolt. -- Play soon @ ForgeCraft.org

• A CLI app where a virtual butler named 'Jeeves' helps schedule your goals and to-dos. Made with Nodejs.

• My Homepage: johnmckirdy.com, where my 'Battleships' game is hosted. Made with JS/Jquery/HTML/CSS, Game is MVC architecture

• A 'text scraper' that crawles though pdfs and websites using RegEx to scrape phone numbers, emails, and names. Then presents the data neatly in a new directory. Made with Python.

• A CMS where users can upload recipes to share with other users, has login with username and encrypted passwords, can comment and share. Made with PHP, MySQL, uses PHPmyAdmin.
