A proof-of-concept game prototype where you must match a sine wave exploring a variety of different gaming thinking styles.
A proof-of-concept game prototype of a maze game where you can't see the maze.
A proof-of-concept game design based around the idea of discovering patterns made from an elastic string.
Combining random Instagram uploads with randomly-generated phrases to create hipster art. Ironically, of course. A variation on the art-maker below.
Experimentation with multiple background images to create non-repeating backgrounds.
A jQuery plugin that provides a polyfill for the 'scoped' attribute available in CSS3. It's used right here to change the background of this block.
I tweaked Tobey Tailor's JS barcode reader so that it has a higher success rate. Compare this version with the original.
Playing around with CSS gradients in an attempt to replicate the style of the recent Google Adsense adverts.
I rebuilt and generalised this jQTouch project as a self-contained jQTouch extension. The repository is on GitHub.
An experiment in JS that developed into an iOS app. It's also available on the Chrome WebStore
Whithr is a Google Maps toy to help you find a place to meet up with your friends (also now an iPhone app)
Another attempt to squeeze something cool into 1k. This randomly generates, solves and draws a 'perfect maze'.
I couldn't let it lie, this is another toy in 1k. This generates a sentence then animates some coloured lights around it to make hipster art.
My entry into the js1k competition. Spinny circles that chase the mouse around. Click to add more circles or press any key to add blur.
Do you know where your arch enemy is? Do you want to?
