Exercise Roulette soloves that by generating a round of random exercises! I used JavaScript to make a quick, fun, one page web app that acted like a game. I also wanted this page to look great on a mobile device for a portable workout, so I got to experiment with responsive, mobile-friendly design techniques. It's a Ruby on Rails app hosted with Heroku.
