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

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.
