Creative Pursuits
I've really gotten into ASCII art recently and am actively pursuing learning how to build games. I've started off
with an embarrassingly simple webpage that at the onset looks like gibberish but if you click around you'll reveal a word.
Once the word is revealed you get a tiny celebration. It's my first, so putting it out there.
