“Cubes” is an experimental game, or perhaps game engine, in the genre of, but hopefully not an exact clone of, Minecraft. It aims to be user-programmable, allowing the construction of blocks out of blocks in order to define the gameplay. It is implemented in JavaScript and WebGL, so you can play it online using a WebGL-supporting browser.
“Tile Game” was a game I wrote in the spring of 2010 as my final project for CI272 Visual Basic at MVCC. It was written in, of course, Visual Basic. I have ported it to JavaScript and you can play it online.
“Fire Worms From Outer Space!” was a game I wrote in the spring of 2009 as my final project for PH115 Science of Multimedia at MVCC. Play or get more info.
Mouse-maze. The main technical interest is that it contains no scripting and is based entirely on CSS mouseovers.
A basic 15-puzzle game. Probably not of much interest.
See my Mac OS X screen savers page.
Varychase is a graphics toy. Runs in the browser; wave your mouse around and it makes curly patterns.
I originally wrote the option-less version May 29, 2010; September 25 I finally got around to adding a bunch of stuff, polishing the presentation, and publishing it.
It uses <canvas> for the optional line-drawing (I should compare the performance to using SVG instead, as well as also putting the dots in the canvas), and a few miscellaneous HTML5/CSS3 features for optional refinements. I've tested in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on Mac.
Linkage is a SVG animation based on a segmented line where the angles between segments vary — to the point of wrapping around and making curls — linearly along the line. Links are provided to change parameters of the animation.
Bouncyworm is a SVG animation that, like Linkage, uses multiple nested transformations, but is less structured and just wobbles around.
My “Brownian Tree” renders a Brownian tree using JavaScript and <canvas>.
GraphLife is an impractically clever cellular automaton implementation in Haskell. It encodes the shape of the world, and the stepping rule, in the data structure.
This is a sample of animation using the experimental HTML <canvas> element written for Rosetta Code. Note that as Rosetta Code is a wiki it may have been changed by others since I wrote it — hopefully for the better.
At one point I did a bit of doodling with the POV-Ray raytracer. My most elaborate project was an animation of the smartwheel as described in Neal Stephenson's book Snow Crash.
