Profile Introduction
Dana Dabbah
Computer Science & AI Student
Passionate about technology and innovation, I am dedicated to leveraging AI to solve real-world problems.
Programming Projects
Plinko Game – Python Langauge
This project is a Python-based simulation of the Plinko game, focusing on randomness, probability, and interactive gameplay. The game logic models the path of a falling object as it moves through obstacles, using randomization to simulate real-world uncertainty. The project allowed me to explore Python’s strengths in rapid prototyping, control flow, and data handling while creating an engaging user experience. Through this project, I developed a deeper understanding of simulation design, probability concepts, and writing clear, modular Python code.
Connect Four Game – C Langauge
project is an implementation of the classic Connect Four game developed in C, featuring both a console-based version and a graphical user interface (GUI). The project applies fundamental programming concepts such as arrays, loops, conditionals, and functions to manage game logic, player turns, and win detection across horizontal, vertical, and diagonal patterns. The GUI version enhances the user experience by visually representing the game board and player interactions, while maintaining the same underlying game logic. Through this project, I strengthened my understanding of structured programming, input validation, and the separation of logic and presentation in software development.
