Barnyard Builder

This project, completed in fall 2024, focused on creating an interactive browser-based experience that allowed users to customize farm animals, including a cow, dog, goat, pig, and horse, before seeing them all come together in a personalized barnyard. The goal was to provide an engaging experience for users while applying concepts such as form data, event handlers, and the query string. This project also incorporated animation to enhance the overall aesthetic and user experience, making the process of customizing animals and building a barnyard visually engaging.

The barnyard concept was chosen because of its playful and interactive nature, offering users the opportunity to make creative decisions while exploring programming concepts. Wireframes were created to plan the layout and movement of the customizable components, ensuring a seamless experience. The project utilized event handlers to manage user input and animate the process of assembling the animals and the barnyard. This project allowed me to explore how programming can be used to create engaging, interactive designs while combining creativity with technical skills.
