Plond Hockey is a browser-based hockey simulation game. Teams such as the Burlington Lumberjacks and Philly Pineapples play 3v3 hockey games every hour, run on a JavaScript sim I made from scratch. The game also tracks stats and league rankings. It's still a work-in-progress I plug away it in my free time. Plond Hockey uses a MERN stack.

Dooskbot is a Twitter bot that runs on Node.js made as a side project to try out concepts learned in class. It uses a bank of nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech to create tweets based on a collection of templates. The bot uses RNG to pick both the type of tweet and the specific words it will use in the tweet, as well as replies, and then automatically sends it out to the World.
