Interests
SquishyLeaf7 has numerous interests, specifically in the sciences. Most of these interests he picked up very early on in life, and they have stuck with him as topics that he at least occasionally looks into ever since.

Music
SquishyLeaf7's favourite genre is melodic bass. Although he has no single favourite artist, there are a select few that he follows, most notably: SquishyLeaf7's taste in music has shifted a considerable amount. He enjoyed mainstream pop music until around 2019, when he found NCS, on which his favourite songs moved towards pop EDM and progressive house. Eventually, he shifted his taste towards Bass and Trap music, with Lost Sky being one of his favourite artists. Over time, towards the beginning of 2022, his genre moved to where it is today—melodic bass and dubstep.

Projects
SquishyLeaf7 has numerous projects that he will periodically review, add to, or occasionally forsake. Generally, these projects relate to researching in one of the interests that he has.

WSC School Performances
This is a spreadsheet tallying scores for schools that participate in World Scholar's Cup. It began as a project after SquishyLeaf7 participated in the Seoul Global Round in 2023. It is added to whenever a Global Round or ToC occurs in a WSC Season. It helps display what schools dominate the competition, and features nearly 300 schools from 40 countries.

WSC Cities
This is a document and spreadsheet tabulating every participating school in the 2024 World Scholar's Cup season. It was started in April 2024 and is actively being worked on. The stated purpose of the project is as trivia for certain other scholars for SquishyLeaf7's enjoyment. Every city is given a three letter code (meant to be reminiscent of airport codes or sports abbreviations), and every school is placed in their respective city.

Pets
This is a document that lists every species in kingdom Animalia except for corals that can be found on OneZoom. It was originally made as a document for a game for SquishyLeaf7's brother, and has about a 1-2% completion after 5 years. Currently, he has completed up to a certain subdivision of Chondrichthyes. This document has not been edited since Jan 2024, as other projects have garnered more attention and work from SquishyLeaf7.

Proto-Alt-History
This is a worldbuilding project that is still currently in a development phase. It began as a result of SquishyLeaf7's love of conlanging and wanting to develop language families throughout a fictional world. The world is an alternate history of Earth that parallels it up until the earliest humans.

Rip-off Impossible Quiz
This is a concept for a game that is a direct inspiration from Splapp-me-do's The Impossible Quiz series. It currently has over 90 questions planned to be coded into Scratch, which is the programming language of choice due to SquishyLeaf7's inability to code with JavaScript, python, C#, or any other programming language.

Torture Board Game (Board Game 1.0)
This was a board game on Tabletop Simulator. Its board was a map of the world with a high amount of spaces taking the player from Cape Town, South Africa to Punta Arenas, Chile, with many different types of spaces. Each player was assigned a "country card", which dictated the player's income, religion, and extra effect. The intended purpose of the game was to induce controlled psychological torture. The game had a beta test in April 2023 with 4 players, which ended up seeing no player exiting Africa, leading to numerous adjustments of the game including changing the die of choice to a d8 instead of a d6, and adding a checkpoint at the beginning of every continent entrance. The full game was played in May 2023 with a $50 cash prize for the winner. There were 6 competitors and the game spanned the rest of the school year with no sign of completion. To this day, no one has been owed the money.

Board Game 2.0
This is a board game idea for Tabletop Simulator. It is a map of the world split into a large number of regions, and the largest cities are highlighted. The gameplay of this board game is still indeterminate, and this project has not been worked on since late November 2023.

Board Game 1.5
This was a "real-life" board game that was designed in November 2023. It is a map of Metro Vancouver split into numerous regions. Each player would move and claim up to 6 regions each turn, and be given challenges tied to each region. If completed, the player would be awarded the region and the victory points it holds. Each turn takes place over a week. A beta test of this board game took place in January 2024 with 3 players. It was a smaller version of the game with the board only depicting Vancouver proper. The winner was Pinjataguy. A full game was played in March 2024 with 6 players. It was abandoned after only 5 weeks due to SquishyLeaf7's other commitments to school and World Scholar's Cup.

Board Game 3.0
This is a board game concept that began development in December 2023. It depicts a map of North America, specifically focusing on the Nearctic biogeographical realm. It involves using cards to move and attack other players' cities to claim them, heavily inspired by Diplomacy. Its development has been halted due to a drag towards other projects, though it sees periodical updates and improvements.

Blind Board Game
This is a game made in Google Slides directly copying Magic the Noah's concept of having a simple board game where the players lacked the ability to see the board. The game was played in March 2024, and after 5 hours of the players wandering the map, ellie! happened upon the win space.

Jet Lag: ToC
This is an ongoing project in collaboration with Youth and Pwaa-wa to create a real-life game inspired by the Jet Lag: The Game series. It is set to take place in New Haven, Connecticut, United States during the Tournament of Champions event of the World Scholar's Cup in Novermber 2024, and is a race across a part of the city near its center, with 4 players in two teams doing challenges to progress.
