More about the stuff consisting of code:

Leftris:
Online Tetris game that can be played with the pieces falling upwards or to the left (or optionally with surprise changes of gameplay direction).
Check out the effects after you wipe out several lines at a time or try playing on a grid of a different size.
Not mobile device friendly (Needs a keyboard).


Sorta paint:
A rudimentary program for drawing, a test polygon when I was learning how to work with stuff on the screen.
Some parts of the interface might be in Slovenian (no other reason than that is my mother language and was the working language when doing the UI).


Classifier neural network:
An attempt to a classifier neural network that classifies Slovene names by gender. Not a serious product and definitely no claims about the results, just a program with which I was learning to create and train a neural network. UI in Slovene only and has been trained on Slovene names only.


Let's play! - Android App:
Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you and your friends are up for a parlor game but you just can't think of one in that moment? Or perhaps you are a parent and have a company of kids over who have energy to spare and you would like to offer them an idea for an outdoor game?
Check out the free "Let's Play" app for some ideas.




The why behind name "byGuesswork"
The journey when learning to code was sometimes smooth sailing, sometimes went nowhere for sessions, sometimes it was most akin to a barrage of head-scratching puzzles. Probably the usual when you throw yourself into something completely new. In the thick of it I often noticed having a feeling, or a thought, that the way things moved forward was by guesswork (though not of the lost, but of the curious kind).
A most enjoyable learning adventure - which it still is!
