-
RecursiveCompare: recursive comparison of two objects' properties (if some of those properties are objects, compare those using the same algorithm); incomplete

-
VideoSpinner: (INCOMPLETE) Solution for https://www.odesk.com/applications/247465623 which I did not get (I will admit that it took me far too long). However, the project was quite interesting so I wanted to finish it. I do NOT like the resulting design of the code - I was too busy trying to make it work to ensure a proper design, unfortunately. Like they say - make it work, make it good, make it fast; this is only at the "make it work" stage.
