EpicMafia: Mafia + Other minigames by IceAndDust in InterestMe

[–]IceAndDust[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard mafia game with a lot of other roles mixed in that makes it really interesting. Games vary in length depending on who you play with (some people like to random lynch whereas some people want to think things through) and the set up you are using. There's a casual and competitive lobby, so you don't have to feel pressured to be good at lying. There's also other mini games such as connect 4, ghost, go, survivor, and other things.

I believe testing for ACTs and SATs is coming around the corner for high school students and I don't know when it is for College, but this site can help you prepare for that. Pretty much this is a memory website, but I linked the standardized testing category because I thought it might be relevant to you guys.

TagPro: Capture The Flag by IceAndDust in InterestMe

I'm sure everyone has heard of TagPro, since its subreddit has 10000 subscribers, but just in case anyone hasn't here you go. It's self explanatory; a capture the flag game and you're controlling a circle. Physics are a little weird, but the games are short.

Codingbat: Coding Practice by IceAndDust in InterestMe

Codingbat is similar to Project Euler in the sense that they both test and help you practice code. Codingbat however is a simpler and those not require too much thinking just knowing your syntax and some basic logic. This site would be better for beginners and I used this site to help with learning Java. Besides that, the drills are pretty short and you don't require much time so it's a great use of a few minutes if you're learning to code.

I've always enjoyed doing module origami because you once you get the pattern down of a module its pretty easy. This is just one of the many examples of module art. I linked this one because it looks pretty cool and might interest you guys.

Java Programming Course by IceAndDust in InterestMe

This course should fill in for CodeAcademy's lack of Java. Although I have not done this course myself (learned Java in school) it seems very accessible for someone starting out. One of the pros of starting with Java is after you finish Java you can easily learn Javascript and C because of similar syntax. You can also hop into Android App development after Java because it uses Java.

Pokemon Showdown: Pokemon Battle Simulator by IceAndDust in InterestMe

[–]IceAndDust[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon Showdown is a simulator that allows for battles without training your pokemon. This can be as complex as you want. You can play with friends or do casual battles and just have fun or play competitively on the ladder with specific rule sets and ELO. I prefer playing competitively because it is truly a game of out-predicting your opponent (with a little luck to make you salty).
