Introduction
Hi! I'm Rebecca Ansems, I'm currently a Software Engineer at Twitter working on iOS related projects in Boulder, Colorado. I completed my Bachelor of Computer Science degree at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2018.
I got my start programming through making impossibly difficult platformers in Game Maker in my early pre-teens, and competing in LEGO Mindstorms competitions. Currently I'm learning how to code in Java & C through various university classes, and C# & C++ in my free time.

Twist and turn your iPhone to help guide the ball down through the endless layers of bricks in Brick Break Deluxe, a modern twist on a classic arcade favorite. Four different power ups will assist you in your journey but beware the (literal) fans that will hamper your progress. What’s the highest score you can get? How far can you go down? Can you unlock all the balls?
Brick Break Deluxe utilizes the phone's accelerometer to determine how far the ball goes in either direction. Brick Break Deluxe also uses Unity's built in player prefs in order to populate an accurate high score table, as well as to track different statistics so that the player can unlock things like different ball colors.
Ever go to a bookstore or library and pick up a random book, one you didn't recognize the name of but the art was cool or the description was super compelling? Then you get home and start reading, get a chapter or two in and realize that that not only was this book part of a series but this book was actually the third in a trilogy?
Series Finder solves this problem! When grabbing a new book simply scan the barcode (or type in the ISBN-13) and Series Finder will list all the books in that series, in order, highlighting your current book. Thus preventing you from accidentally reading a series out of order, or starting at part three of a trilogy!
Series Finder uses the Google Books API to find the title of the book based on the scanned ISBN and uses the Goodreads API to figure out if the book is part of a series. If it is the rest of the books in the series will be displayed, in order with an image of the book cover, and with the current book highlighted. Clicking on the title will bring up the description of the book (from Goodread) as well as larger image of the books cover.
