This section of the site is where I show off all of the programs I've made.
Any programs made in Java need to have the Java Runtime Enviorment (JRE) version 1.4.2 on your computer to run properly, which can be downloaded here.

NOTE: All programs, including all source code, images, documents, zip files, compiled programs and all related files are copyright 2004 by me, Dan Mitchell. They are here only for your personal enjoyment to download to your computer and run for pleasure. The use of any code or images without my permission is not allowed.

ShadowMath
      This program was made by me to facilitate min maxing in the Role Playing Game of Shadowrun. If you don't know what Shadowrun is, just don't worry about it and go on your way. But if you do, this program takes in a number of dice and a target number, and spits back out your expected number of successes, your chance of succeeding at all, your chance of getting any number of successes, your chance of getting at least any number of successes, and finally it actually rolls for you to see how you would have done if you had rolled just then. Very handy!

Reversi
      I decided to make this program to get ready for this coming year at U of I where I will be doing C++ again. Therefore this program is made in C++ as a refresher. It's a simple game where you want all of the pieces on the board to be your color. Enjoy! :)

Converter
      In this program, you enter in a message in the top text box, enter in a number base from 2 to 36 in the small box to the right, and then press convert. This is an easy way to yell at people in binary or hex etc etc...

Billiards
      This program is a simple two player game of pool (or Billiards if you wish). You can play either 8-ball or 9-ball. The rules to these games are not explained, but they are standard rules, so if you know how to play pool you should be fine.

Java Arcade
      This program was the final project in Java at Fremd for me (who made Missile Command and the main menu), Matt Ligocki who made Asteroids, Pat Sykes who made Tetris and Ryan Grattoni who made Pong. They are all new twists on the old classics, and they should explain the controls in each game.

Markov Chains
      I made this program for the 2004 ICTM state Math Meet and used it to take 3rd place at state! It will make NO sense to you if you do not know what an Absorbing Markov chain is, so um... don't even bother with this one.

Life
      This is my version of the 'game of life.' What you do is simply click on the spots on the grid to turn them on or off and then press run to see your creation come to life. There are sites on the internet that explain it so go put Google to work!

Chess
      This is a program that I made in Perl. It's just a neat little Chess game. Have fun! And oh yea, and I figured out how to run perl programs! You need to go HERE and download The Windows MSI thingy for ActivePerl 5.8.4 build 810. Once you do that you can download my game and open it like any other program! Go Perl!

---

Paintor!
      Dude, Perl Rocks. This program is in perl (see above on how to run it). It's just a program where you draw whatever you want in whatever color you want. Go Perl!

---

Wolfram
      This program is a freaky one based off of the first few chapters in Stephen Wolfram's book A New Kind of Science. Basically it generates each row of pixels based on the row above it, and neat pictures can form.

---

Pac Man
      Pac Man! This was my final project for C++ at Fremd. It's Pac Man! that's... All I got. What other explanation do you need?

---

DI-18
      This program was a project in C++ at Fremd. It's a calculator program, but VERY powerful (I'm my own worst critic). You can get exact answers if you only use integers and operations. You can also use parenthesis, implied multiplications, power (6^2=36), constants (Pi and E) and functions ranging from cos() to ln() to abs(). Have fun!

---

Dogfight
      This program was made in Visual Basic (Ew). It's a two player game where player one uses 'a,' 's,' and 'd' to move and spacebar to fire, and player two uses the arrow keys and numpad '0' to fire. Shootem-up shootem-up pow pow!

Find The Planet!
      This is a neat program that I made in the computer programming course at Fremd Sophomore year (Javascript, NOT AP). It's basically a guess the coordinates game where after each guess, the compass tells you if your X guess is too big or too small, and weather your Y guess is too big or too small. I find it very annoying to program in visual basic.
