FGOrdle

March 2023

FGOrdle is a Wordle-like game that uses characters from Fate/Grand Order instead of 5 letter words. The website informs the player on what aspects of the character they picked are correct. When the player either picks the correct daily character or uses up their 8 guesses then the daily character is revealed. Users can also create and account to maintain their current wins and how many times they have played.

Built with microservice architecture in mind, the frontend of the website is HTML, CSS, and Javascript while the character information is stored using MongoDB. An API made with Flask retrieves this character information for the website. The MongoDB is updated through a cron job and AWS Lambda function. Account creation and sign in is stored in an SQLite DB, and the information is processed through a separate API made with Flask. Afterwards, the API then authenticates users with a JWT (JSON Web Token).

MHR Builder

May 2021 - August 2021

MHR Builder is a tool that can be used by players to simulate builds for Monster Hunter Rise. The site allows users to quickly create an equipment loadout. It displays the current skill set as well as various damage/defense/weapon stats. There are other potential boosts that players can add/remove to improve theses stats. Then using the various stats the player selected it calculates an Effective Raw/Element(EFR/EFE). The EFR/EFE stat gives players a general idea on the potential damage output. Players can then take snapshots and share their builds with other players.

The tool is a web app made in Vue.js and receives data using JSON files. The builds are encoded using Base64 to easily share.
