I made a coding challenge, vaguely tied up as a game. Your goal is to complete simple coding challenges, with a major twist--you only get one try. You can only hit RUN once. (Well, actually you can hit RUN more than once. But it gets marked as failed.)

It put together about 10 challenges, together with some story narration.

The game problems are now tested.

You can play online. The code is on github

Today I wrote a game called Little Herbalist. Or at least, I started to.

I'm pretty pleased with what I have--random ingredients appearing in various colors, which you can add to a brewing potion. The potion changes colors based on what ingredients you've added.

It's definitely not a complete game, and I'd like to work on it again another day.

You can play the unfinished game online or read the source code on github.

Today I wrote a very small library for converting games to multiplayer. I was able to convert my Go game so you can play online with other players.

Go demo is here. 2p library source code is available as a gist, or you can view the go game source code.

Today I hacked together a simple but servicable Go game. It uses chinese scoring, and you have to manually mark dead stones at the end of the game. You can play a demo here. Source code is on github.

Right now you have to sit down with someone else to play. I plan to spend a day adding multiplayer to a few games, if I have time.

Can't Stop is a push-your-luck style dice game designed by Sid Sackson in 1980. I've found it to be fun on BoardGameArena.

I wrote my own version for hack-a-day. You can play online. The source code is on github.

I'm pretty happy with this one. I didn't get to online play or even AI opponents, but you can play on your own or against friends in the room.

Today I wrote a little game where you make food in a kitchen.

This was so-so. I didn't have a ton of fun making it, and it's not that fun to play either. I spent way too much time with things like trying to get sprites to load, and not as much on making the game fun. I think it could be much better with another day or two of work (as usual for hack-a-day).

Today's project was a "vibe piece". I've been obsessed with the idea of easy, relaxing games based on organization.

In this game, you sort squares into like colors.

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!

My friend Callen taught me some Godot, and we made an Easel Toy. You combine colors to make other colors. Nothing fancy.

I’m a fan of the game Dungeon Master II (1993). In fact, I’m planning to get a tattoo of the rune system. So I looked around for a reference image. Here’s one from the game manual:

This looked like a nice one, because it shows the game graphics:

But there’s one problem–an entire row of runes is missing. Here’s a corrected one I made.
