For today’s hack-a-day, I meant to clone the Hillsfar lockpicking minigame. Instead, I spent all day just extracting the sprites. But I had a nice chill time, so it was great.
Edit: See the updated post for the finished game.
Here’s the original minigame:
Here’s my spritesheet:
I made it by splitting up screenshots:
Today’s hack-a-day project was a pencil-and-paper RPG. Based on feedback from people reading the rules, it’s notably bad and I don’t recommend it. Rules here.
My friend Kragen and I wrote a little bytebeat synth tool. You can mess around and have fun. Demo here, code is on github.
Hack-A-Day is a challenge to try and finish 30 projects in 30 days in November.
Today I tried to write a tool to make a floorplan. You can try it here. As usual the source code is on github.
This was an ambitious project for one day, and I didn’t finish everything I wanted. My original goal was to support
What I did do was pleasantly high-quality, and I made pretty good progress.
A simple screensaver made in my raytracer. Code is on github.
I’ve wanted to make a receipt-printer zine for a while. Here’s the next best thing, a digital verson.

Today’s update is a short one. I ported my raytracer from day 02, to the Nvidia GPU: ha3k-06-raytracer
The visuals are pretty much the same. Incidentally I discovered the striations on the ground disappear if we increase the floating point precision.
Render on the GPU is 30x faster (0.05 fps -> 3 fps). That’s still not very fast.
I didn’t get video working yesterday, or anything else visually new. I will call this one a failure overall, because I have nothing interesting to show off. I learned stuff and made progress though, so it’s not so bad.
Here’s a working video!
I made a small game called Doodlemoji Alchemy, together with my friend Jennifer, as part of Hack-A-Day.
You can play it here.
You combine elements to make something new. Sometimes you get an old element:
Sometimes you discover a new one!
