Interactive Projects

All React scripts for these projects can be found here

Tic-Tac-Toe

This is a Tic-Tac-Toe game designed in React. I used the tutorial on ReactJS.org to help me create this. The base features include a working tic-tac-toe game that let's you "time travel" to previous moves. This was achieved by using immutable arrays and "copying" data into a history (as opposed to changing the board array directly).

Life Stats

Another project designed in React. This project updates various stats about my life in real time. This showcases that I know how to update a component in React every second and mount/unmount components when they are no longer used.
