Portfolio
Bubble Visualization of Facebook Links

Used the Facebook API to login and access links shared by the user. Wrote a custom method that extended the Box2D physics engine to visualize each link as a floating bubble. The size of each bubble is relative to its "share count". Clicking a bubble opens the link in a new tab.
