Xtreme Xmas Code

Have you ever been savoring your Advent Of Code calendar, keyboard dusted with sugar cookie crumbles, reindeer curled at your feet, and found yourself wishing the puzzles were wilder? More challenging? MORE XTREME??

Well ho-ho-hold that thought because this is the mod for you!

Xtreme Xmas Code is a mod/companion app for Advent of Code, a delightful Advent calendar of small programming puzzles created by Eric Wastl. With it you can record your Advent of Code progress and each day get an additional modifier to that day's AoC puzzle. For example, you may be challenged to complete that day's puzzle using a language you've never used before, or without reassigning any variables.

Additionally, the mod scores each game based on how you use your reroll tokens and provides leaderboards for ranking games based on this score. I hope this will provide a brain-stretching leaderboard experience that isn't tied to a strict time schedule.

StarCrossed

StarCrossed is a tool for finding a spot in the universe special to two people. I built it as an experiment with Deno KV (an edge-enabled, globally distributed key-value store), as my entry in the Deno KV Hackathon

You can use it to check your compatibility with another person (based on your subjective opinion of what your stars look like), find a galactic make-out spot, or just discover a unique point in the sky to look at together through a telescope

Namagen

Namagen randomly generates names in constructed languages. I built it for use in role-playing games (to integrate with the Wyrld Dashboard suite of tools), but I suppose it could also be used to suggest baby names!

It also serves as an example of how a WebAssembly application built with Rust can be integrated into a JavaScript environment

Buddh-A-Sketch

This started as an emulation of a classic drawing toy and evolved to include functionality for meditative practice. Then I added ever-mutating neon black colors because it looks cool

This is one of my first JavaScript projects and still one of my favorites to play with. Currently it requires a mouse to use. It's not very sophisticated, but it's a lot of fun!

Fractal Flower

An enchanting interactive animation that I remixed. The original version was made by the Qwik team (more info on Qwik here) as an exhibition showing how fast Qwik can be at loading reactive components

I tweaked the colors and added the 'Romanesca' and 'Helix' visualizer modes. Be sure to play with the slider at the top and try the different modes using the icons at the bottom!

Al Lugha Misma

You say "potato" (English), and I say "baTaaTaa" (Arabic)

Or "papa" (Spanish)!

This is a comparative linguistics game celebrating similarities (and differences!) in words across languages

Al Lugha Misma is under construction and currently only has an information page and legends database available on this site. But if you'd like to learn more about the project and browse some fun words, you're more than welcome to check it out!

A robot that plays Tic-Tac-Toe!

My friend Andy thinks he can beat the Unbeatable Master. I think he thinks I spent more time on the AI than I did. If you feel like John Henrying it up with him, go on and set the difficulty to 'Impossible'
