Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

A remake of a personal project I originally wrote for my site in 9th grade, Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe is a variant of the classic Tic-Tac-Toe with a drastically expanded rule set that allows for significantly more strategy (see here for rules). My remake is responsive to many more screen sizes, improves the multiplayer experience, and introduces an AI to play against in single player.

The online multiplayer offers real-time multiplayer between two clients on different machines using Socket.IO. Communication between devices is handled by a Socket.IO Node server I'm running on a free Azure instance.

The AI is powered by a Monte-Carlo Tree Search. On hard, the algorithm runs for 5 seconds (one on medium), so difficulty depends on the machine you play on. I managed to beat the AI on my phone once; so far, no luck on my laptop.

OCaml Tetris

A midterm project created in a team of four for our functional programming class. Written entirely in OCaml, with the strict limitation that only system libraries and OCaml standard library functions may be used. As such, we were unable to use any async libraries, graphics packages, input libraries, and more. Much effort was spent just figuring out how (if it was even possible) to get unbuffered keyboard input while a background timer ran the game.

For reasons of academic integrity, the source code is not available online, but we did make a joke trailer for the game.
