About

Hi. I'm Harper. I'm a senior in highschool. I'm years old. I love making things. Sometimes I make something good, sometimes I don't, but I enjoy it all. I've been programming for over 10 years, since I was 7. My first programming language was Scratch 1.0, a block-based programming language for kids. Then I moved to Scratch 2.0, and was able to make more complex games. I released every last one: 558. After that, I moved to Processing and made a bunch of little games in that as well. I jumped around for a while, experimenting with unity and other game engines. I made many different games in many different places, and I learned a lot. During the pandemic, I worked on a game called BORDERSITE using LWJGL and OpenGL, which I eventually abandoned.

One fateful day, I was experimenting with p5js and Matter.js and I made a little game where you controlled a box and spun it around. For fun, I put my friend Nathan Chen's face on the box, and titled it "Nathan Simulator". That ended up becoming the first game I put on my website: Nathan Simulator. I made more games and put them on my website, and eventually I had a little collection. Notably: CENTORDLE, which was a WORDLE clone but with 100 words.

Junior year was pretty tough, so there's been a pretty long hiatus, but I hope to get back into it and make more silly games, because its something I really love. I've updated the website and added some new features, like the text you're reading right now, and the ability for me to write some more posts about my games and other things. Anyways, thanks for reading this far. I hope you enjoy my games.
