Ball Jump

This is where my journey into the world of programming began.

The first programming language I learnt was Java, back when I was 12. A friend recommended it to me. After I had learnt the basic concepts, Ball Jump was my first project. It took me two months during my school summer holidays.

Ball Jump is a 2D computer game that's a bit like Frogger or Crossy Road with powerups, coins, upgrades and achievements.

I wanted to show my friends when we got back to school, so I put it up on a website called SourceForge for my friends to download. It somehow got 1000+ downloads worldwide (I suspect most of them were probably me doing some testing). Shortly after putting it up on SourceForge, I learnt some HTML, CSS and JavaScript and made my own website (before this one) and put Ball Jump up there.

During secondary school, I worked on Ball Jump and made frequent updates for about a year. However, at present, it hasn't been maintained for years, so it likely won't work anymore - but there's a download link at the bottom of the page and you're more than welcome to give it a try!
