MineSweeper
In order to learn Visual Basic GUI programming for my summer engineering internship, I implemented this mini-MineSweeper game. The icons were downloaded from the web, the code was written entirely from scratch. The bombs are randomly generated for each game. By left-clicking, you can reveal a number, blank square, or bomb (which ends the game). By right-clicking, you can put down a flag, to mark where the bombs are. There is also a reset button.

Tic-Tac-Toe with AI
In order to learn Visual Basic GUI programming for my summer engineering internship, I implemented this game of Tic-Tac-Toe, from scratch. The computer implements the minimax AI algorithm, used in chess and other virtual board games. Essentially, the computer looks ahead at its own and the opponent's future moves, computing its chance of winning depending on which move it makes at the present moment. It then selects the best move. You can play against the computer but will always lose or tie. I was aiming to make the computer play itself, as in War Games, but ran out of time.
