Get A Grip!
Project Overview
I published a game to the App Store using Unity and C#. My friend introduced me to rock climbing, and upon finding this pass-time, I realized that I didn't recall of any popular games based around rock climbing. So, during quarantine, I used my time to develop a rock climbing game.

The Story
Over the course of 6 months of development, involving learning data structures and creating all of the art and design, I completed the development of my app! Upon completion of Get A Grip, I figured out how to publish it to the iOS App Store. Although I only have under 200 downloads today, I realize that the project taught me many things about development that I never would have learned without taking up this side project during quarantine.
