Nim: A Game

I wanted to write something more complex in Javascript. I'd written a version of Nim for a class in college, and it seemed like a good candidate here. My Nim: Nim: A Game Wiki for rules: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim

Another cool thing on my website

I can't take credit for this one because I copied it out of the Javascript textbook, but it's still fun to play with.  It looks like two red eyes following your cursor around.

Stuff On My Website

After reading a book about javascript, I modified the book's example scripts to do a few simple things.  The first is called Acronym.  Acronym is an acronym generator.  I think acronyms are hilarious, but it takes a frustratingly long time for me to calculate them, so I created this handy acronym-generator.  Simply type in the phrase you’d like acronym-ized and press the button.  An acronym will then appear.

I created Oracle and Magic from the same script as Acronym.  They both provide an answer to a yes/no question, but Oracle requires you to type it out.  Magic is equipped with an advanced mind-reading capability and thus does not require a typed version of your question.
