Overview of all my projects at 42 Heilbronn.
Note
It is September 2025 and I just finished the final exam! My 42 core curriculum journey has come to an end. I have transcended.
Note
While I learned a huge amount doing the 42 core curriculum projects, the impact of my extracurriculars can't be underestimated. Or in other words: Have you heard about CORE GAME?
Note
In October 2024 I achieved ✨ MASTERMIND status ✨ for completing over 21 projects with the maximum possible score. 🎉
This almost always included difficult extra tasks as a bonus.
=> My official name on the 42 Intranet has now changed from fschuber to Mastermind fschuber. 💪
Tip
All of the projects that have a repository available (almost all of them) have a light blue border around their icon.
They can also all be found in the 📁 projects/ folder.
The projects are sorted in the order I started them in.
