tableMagic and dateRange
I added some custom JavaScript Functions that I've made at work to the site. One allows for automatically table row coloring and the other allows users to view date ranges in comparison to each other. View them in the experiments section.
Portfolio Updated
I updated my portfolio on 27 Oct 2006 with many of the projects I've worked on during 2006.
These projects include the Utah Dialect project, Emily Dickinson Lexicon, Analogical Modeling of Board Game Ratings, and a web site for my board game club.
Wizard Kings Army Raising
One of my favorite hobbies is playing board games. I'm a member of BoardGameGeek which is an excellent resource for information and helps for board games. I learned about the game Wizard Kings there and was thrilled with my purchase when it arrived. I first played it out with my sister and we noticed that it was difficult or at least cumbersome to figure out the costs of the armies. I looked on BGG for some kind of tool but couldn't find any.
Still needing a solution, I decided to make one myself. I got out a piece of paper and jotted down a few ideas. I would scan in the blocks from the game and use JavaScript to advance the steps of the units and automatically calculate the costs. When I started I saw that the project would be a lot easier using custom JavaScript objects.
The finished results can be found on the Wizard Kings Army Raising page found in the experiments section of this site.
