About Me
Hi. I'm Kaden Emrich.
I am a -year-old Computer Science student from Ohio with experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, Python, C#, and C++. I’ve been passionate about programming for as long as I can remember, and I’m excited to turn that passion into a professional career. I love coding, which should be evident by the website you’re on now. In high school, I studied programming and software development at a career center, where I had the opportunity to win awards and connect with like-minded individuals.
Outside of work and school, I have many other interests. Video games are my favorite pastime, with titles like Minecraft, Forza Horizon, Team Fortress 2, and Half-Life having a big impact on me. I don’t just enjoy playing them, I love learning about their development as well. One of my favorite gaming experiences was playing through Half-Life 2 with developer commentary enabled. Learning about the design and technical decisions behind such a revolutionary game deepened my appreciation for the industry.
I also spend my free time programming games and software. You can find more about that below.

GAMES BY ME
Asteroids
Controls: Arrow Keys, W,A,S,D, Space
Out of all of the programming projects that I have done so far, I’d say that Asteroids is probably my favorite. I’ve always liked Atari Asteroids because It’s a great example of a simple concept done well. So, I wanted to take a shot at it.
The graphics in Asteroids are drawn with lines on an html canvas to stay true to the original game. It uses no outside engines or libraries. The collision, scoring, movement, etc. is all calculated by code written by me. Good thing I’ve always been good at math!
Many of the mechanics and values in the game went through countless revisions and tweaks. The logic for spawning more asteroids is one such mechanic that I am quite proud of. It feels like a natural progression especially if you don’t pay attention to the values that determine the spawning conditions. This game took a lot of time and effort so I would appreciate it if you play it. Hope you have fun!
Sorting Algorithm Visualizer
Have you ever wanted to visualize sorting algorithms in a highly customizable environment?
No? That super specific and slightly weird thought never occurred to you?
Well too bad! Here at Aperture Science kadenemrich.com we do what we must because we can! Choose between countless* different practical sorting algorithms or put it on random and prepare to be amazed!** You can set the size of the list, speed that it sorts at, and color scheme. And If you’re the kind of person that likes to immerse themselves in their sorting algorithms, you’ll be happy to know you can even hide the control panel!
We’ll even throw in 3 extra silly, impractical, and utterly stupid extra sorting algorithms for absolutely free! CLICK HERE try it now!
