Not on Fire

I took a journey through the Forumopolis Minecraft server, and encountered many interesting places along the way.

My impenetrable Minecraft fortress.

The Schedule Builder allows you to quickly create a visual weekly schedule for printing and web pages. No download is required unless you want to use the Schedule Builder on your own website.

For now, the schedule builder is still hosted at my old website. Maybe I'll port it over some day.

KevEdit is a powerful world editor for ZZT, a game creation system made by Tim Sweeney way back in 1992. Despite graphics which were outdated even then, the raw power and versatility of the game have made it a favourite among many even today. Unfortunately, the built-in editor which made ZZT a game to remember, though wholey responsable for ZZT's greatness, failes no realize the full potential of ZZT itself.

Written as a school project, this game aims to demonstrate the many difficulties encountered in America during the Industrial Revolution. Set up similar to a board game, the players race each other to the finish line, answering questions about the industrial revolution along the way to make money. Additional board layouts can easily be added and the questions may be extended with little trouble.

My oldest creation is the game Snaker. It is a Tron-style game, fashioned after an Atari 5200 game I once played. It features up to four players on one keyboard, graphics and text modes, and customized settings. This game has turned out to be extremely addictive, especially with four players in the ring.

The Great Equation Graph is an equation graphing program that I wrote many years ago. Originally written in DOS using BGI (Borland Graphics Interface), I made a brief attempt at porting it to wxWidgets (then called wxWindows). Since this was a complete rewrite and never finished, the DOS version is much better (and more colourful!), in my opinion.

The AnyBase Calculator is a Java application which does very simple arithmetic on numbers in any reasonable base. It can be used for such things as quick conversion between two number bases, or to add and divide numbers in base 13. The interface is intuitive and dynamic, responding to various bases by adding and removing buttons as necessary. Not convinced of its coolness yet? The entire program was written in a total of 10 consecutive hours without any prior experience using the swing or awt graphics packages.
