This site will mostly be used as an opportunity to practice (and flex) the skills that I learn on my path to becoming a software developer! One day, this site will be filled with many interesting pages and you will be able to see my growth as a developer. Animations, magic, explosions, clickable buttons; the possibilities are endless!
Wassup! My name is Connor A.K.A. C-Money.
I'm a computer science student from Toronto who loves to create everything from music to websites.
Some of my hobbies include skateboarding, basketball, and pretending to read books that I don't understand to look cool and interesting.
If I could turn into an animal, I would probably want to be a bear because I love to sleep. And if I were being chased by the CIA, I think I could probably survive at least 3 days.

Minesweeper is one of my favorite games to play when I'm bored, so I created a basic Minesweeper game from scratch using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

I remember playing a game like this in summer camp. Originally I wanted to do something like the NYT Wordle but then I felt bad for my friends who may or may not have a 3rd grade reading level. JUST KIDDING, its because I was way too lazy to find a way to get all the words.
This was also made with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
Anyways, click the image If you want to try it for yourself!
I created this site that you are looking at using basic HTML and CSS. Although it is pretty empty for now, upgrades await in the near future!
Today, I started learning some basic JavaScript and made a simple counter app. I also learned how to make links as icons and added a link to my LinkedIn on the header.
Yesterday, I created a simple Blackjack game website(edit: using JavaScript). As of right now, the game works but I want to style it and add some features such as a deck counter, a win-loss tracker, C-Money, doubling down, and splitting.
Today, I added some cool new features and fixed some of the bugs on my Blackjack page. Some stuff I added includes splitting, doubling down (though there is no C-Money yet), a deck counter (which I recycled from my previous counter page), a win-loss column so you can track your wins and losses. On the smaller side, I added a home icon which goes back to here, and did a little bit of styling. I think in the future I want to implement like an "educational mode" where you can see the probabilites and also learn the optimal Blackjack strategy but maybe I'll take a little break from this project first.
I know, I've been pretty quiet recently. I got stuck with some school work while also trying to develop this awesome Minesweeper page in JavaScript. It is missing a few features (like winning) but I hope to get that sorted out soon. I also want to get back on some CSS and make these pages look sick. Anyways, C-MonDawg out.
Minesweeper is now looking fucking awesome, no cap frfr. I still want to add the ability to customize the size of the board and number of bombs, but in the meantime I want to make my kick-ass website available on Google. Right now it says something about "pages cant be indexed" or some bullshit. I might have to go over to Google HQ and take matters into my own hands... But fr tho, search engine optimization begins!
created a CodeBreaker game, similar to the popular wordle, which is what I originally wanted to do but for that I would need to figure out how to get a list of 5 letter words which I can't be bother to do rn tbh. However I did learn a bunch, including adding click functions to divs and deleting elements from pages in JS. Right now, I want to go back and apply some of this stuff to make my Minesweeper but after I want to start adding stuff to this homepage.
Today, I made the Minesweeper buttons into divs and it looks SO much better. Next I want to make changeable size/difficulty level. I also went ahead and started messing with this homepage and added the awesome featured projects gallery (which you probably saw on the way here) with crazy sliding animations and handy navigational arrows!
