Programming Portfolio of Vinh Nguyen

A collection of projects made from programming classes I and II

*A collaborative work

Adventure Game

This is a accumulation of everything that I have learned during my time in Programming I applied in to this small C# programmed Adventure Game on the Console Interface.

Despite all the work I’ve done and going over a few videos and extra materials, this was not the final project for the class. That would be the Character Creator Application. I do wonder if the code still works on newer versions of C# or so.

Project Bracken

This is another accumulation of everything that I have learned in Programming II applied to this Final Project for that class.

This is the project where I think have understood on coding between a GUI and raw code. Coded this as Console Application first, practicing object-oriented programming principals. Then I slowly started figuring out the user interface in this version.

Oggle!

A guessing game where you have to connect neighboring letters to form a word. Simple premise, hard to master.

Getting this to work was a hassle but it took some fixing on some if statements to get the grid working, along with how it checks for the nearest neighboring letter.

Ordle

A game where you have to guess a correct 5 letter word.

In the console version that I made before moving to the WPF, I learned about how I can manipulate or modify strings directly (e.g, Capitalizing a specific letter)

Character Creator App

Make your own stickman

I forgot to show this here back on 2021. This was a Final Project assignment for the first programming class.

Nonsense Crafting

A WPF application about making things using items that do not make sense

I made the inventory system too complicated in this one… passing instances between inventories and making items and currency finite for the shop took a lot of my time trying to fix the quirks and issues.

This was also the application where I try reading external files (implemented) and also tried writing external files from the application itself (not implemented, I did not get it to work)

Card Games

A console application that I tried my best in making a simple game from scratch, three card games coded around commonalities

I had a hard time figuring out child classes since they didn’t do what I thought they would do. Still, a lot of reuse and stuff regarding methods!

Study Application

A handbook that generates and reads specific .txt files of programming terms and also a pop quiz application for those terms at the same time.

Underwater Creatures*

A console application about interacting with underwater creatures that further utilizes the IO file system to write and read a generated .txt file for users to add in their own custom creature.

Shift Cipher GUI

An easier accessible GUI version of the above application. You know, for the cool kidz!

Shift Cipher*

An application that encrypts and decrypts any input that the user gives.

Programming Trivia Game

Another console application that randomizes the orders that the questions are given and the answers as well. It is still about programmer knowledge.

Too Early Cant Think: An Explorable Areas GUI

Another Console Application translated into GUI form. No images are present, however.

Explorable Areas*

A console application that tests exploration and progression via items and interaction for the player.
