** fizzbuzz.java
This doesn't need much explaining. It's a simple fizzbuzz. I used this to motivate myself while feeling down and unmotivated to code. It took less than 3 minutes.
** LuckyNumber.java ** LuckyNumber.java
A short, simple script that asks the user for nationality and displays a lucky number based on that input. It was a quick and dirty script that I did very early, mostly to get me familiar with String comparison and conditionals. I would probably do it a bit differently by now (use a switch statement instead of an if-else chain) and use a random number generator for people who aren't German or Polish. Part of why I did that project also just was a 2137 joke lol A short, simple script that asks the user for nationality and displays a lucky number based on that input.

** fizzbuzz.java ** Passgen/
This doesn't need much explaining. It's a simple fizzbuzz. I used this to motivate myself while feeling down and unmotivated to code. It took less than 3 minutes. Passgen (Also known as this took 5 minutes, half the code and no packaging in python) is a very simple project, actually. It generates a cryptographically secure password using a simple cli (Using picocli). This was meant to be a lot less work because I did not expect needing a third party library and maven (and as such a pom.xml file) for this to work correctly. It can generate an xkcd-style password (See [[https://xkcd.com/936][xkcd-936]] for more), a password using letters and numbers and using letters, numbers and special characters. The length is variable. A bit on how it works:
+ -x --xkcd will generate an xkcd style password
+ -s --simple will generate a password only using letters and numbers
+ -l --length sets the length of the password. For regular passwords and simple passwords, this determines the length, for xkcd passwords the amount of words.
** TicTacToe.java ** TicTacToe.java
The first bigger file for now. It's a TicTacToe game. Uses coordinates and an ASCII playing field. Used it to familiarize me with more complex data structures again (HashMaps, ArrayLists, an initial draft also contained a HashSet). Also the first file that actually used multiple functions, which was very useful to refamiliarize myself with how variable scope and all that is handled in java. The first bigger file for now.
