Semi-Useful Programs
Fake Yahtzee
I made this Yahtzee clone for my main class project. I used VB 2005, Photoshop CS2 for the graphics, Blender for the splash introduction movie, and INNO for the installation package.
It took a couple of weeks to finish, since I had to teach myself how to use Blender. I decided to go way above the requirements for the assignment and make the 3D animation. The programming took the longest — I'm not that great of a programmer!

Personal Library
Using VB 2005 and NSIS for installation, I made this personal library catalog for organizing books, movies, packing boxes — anything you can think of. I may port this to an online format someday too, using the XML functionality.
We had to make a program that interfaced with a database for our final project. Everyone else in the class did their work in the class lab so they could use Microsoft Access. Since I developed everything on my laptop and didn't have Access, I made the program use an XML file to store everything, so it's a lot more versatile.
