It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!

Today’s project is Hack-A-Machine (demo, source). It’s a whimsical VM you can play around with.

I liked this one, but it really didn’t fit into a day too well.

Features include:

• Edit, save, and share programs!
• Visual debugger with step, run, pause, and stop!
• One example program!
• Weird arithmetic!
• Negative-364 based addressing!
• “Touchscreen” display!
• “Ticker tape” input and output!
• 21 never before seen instructions!
• Optional registration!

Sadly not in the “one day” category are

• good compiler errors
• line numbering
• line highlighting when stepping through code
• syntax highlighting
• the entire machine 100% working (I tested a little!)
• fixing all the bugs (there’s a particularly nasty one where you have to save before you run)

Today’s project is Hack-A-Dictionary (demo, source). It looks up words.

OK, I’ll be honest. I’m phoning this one in. I needed a break.

Today’s project is Hack-An-Asteroid (demo, source). It’s an asteroids clone with four levels.

I’m pretty happy with this as my first “visual” game. I made it in Unity3D.

Today’s project is Hack-An-Icecube (demo, source). It’s a failed attempt to make a game in Unity3D, the game engine/framework.

This is my first failure, which I think is good! I was getting bored only attempting things I could definitely succeed at in one day. That said, running out of time is fun. Wrestling the IDE isn’t. This was mostly wrestling the IDE, setting configs, and installing software.

I won’t continue this tomorrow, I’d rather do a new project each day (It’s called Hack-A-DAY)! But I might do another Unity3D project before the month is out.

The ice cubes load and fall, and that’s it. No controls, no game. I ran out of time.

This is an attempt to recreate One Hour Jam Cannon by juzek exactly. I ran out of time, but I made some progress getting Unity to work.

Today’s (catch-up) project is Hack-A-Homepage (demo, source). You can enter various information about yourself, such as links to your social media, and make your own little homepage.

This one took about another hour. I think it’s okay, but today was definitely a “do the numbers” game to catch up. Tomorrow I want to do something more fun and new.

Today’s (catch-up) project is Hack-A-Link (demo, source). You can enter a long link, and it will be shortened.

This one was also pretty easy. About an hour.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Paste (demo, source). You can upload text and share it with others.

Today’s project was an easy one, because I was busy. Took an hour or two.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Chat. (demo, source). It’s a free web chat for anyone that goes to the website.

So far, not much easier. Another 8-hour day. I was hoping to do something with WebRTC today, but I didn’t get to it.

Today’s project is the Hack-A-Blog. (demo, source).

Check out the link above to try out the live demo. I’m proud of getting this one done in time. I think the next days will be easier, as I figured some things out already.
