Next post: General Status Update

I worked with the new Programming Club after school today. An alumni worked us through a simple webpage themed like his webpage that used jQuery to position and animate. It was quite interesting, and I learned a simple, mathematical way to animate items in circles basic with trigonometry. You can see my tweaked result at Planetary. I'm very excited for future projects like this, especially when I can pick up a tip or two on algorithms such as the circle one.

Other Updates:

• I also created a program based on the need to balance chemical equations. You can see this at Balencistry. It allows you to visually see the comparison of different elements on both sides with a double bar graph.
• In the same spirit of school topics, I've also uploaded Periodic Letters, a tool for a project earlier this year. We were consolidating our knowledge on the structure of the periodic table, and our quarter project was to make a popular phrase using just periodic elements. I've also included "Jelementium" (J) and "Unoctquadium" (Uoq) in order to get all of the missing elements. I didn't focus much on printing, so long words are discouraged.
• And lastly, I changed the URLS of the single-page project pages (namely, Memory Game and Tic Tac Toe) to directories instead of individual files. All the links on this site have been updated.
