The website you're on right now (😎)


I started www.austinates.com mainly as a resume holder, but I have found it to be a great resource to host projects and practice version control. I'm NOT recommending you do a directory traversal attack, but you may find some fun easter eggs.


Checkout my silly jQuery Game as an example!

Twisted Trees


Twisted Trees was and is my first project that I ever started. Before I understood version control and git, this project stayed on my local machine, and most of the story line was lost due to a corrupt hard drive. I am excited to say, however, that I was able to recover several of the most important files, and the Python3 version can be played in console!

Get ready because a browser based beta version is coming soon!

Wedding Card Generator and Personal Relationship Tracker


There is no doubt that relationships and weddings are hard work. With my sister getting married in November and my own relationship heading in that direction, I decided to build two apps that allow me to practice writing to files using Python3 and JSON.😍

Due to the sensitive nature of the information in the relationship app, I have made it private.

Check Out My Python Project List


Before starting LaunchCode, I was working through basic python projects. Some of the projects I worked on were a basic code generator, a funny "Take Me Out to Dinner" game, and other console based projects. Some of those projects have since evolved into bigger projects; such as the relationship tracker.
