Look at the cool stuff I made
Stratagem
Stratagem (originally named Gemini) is a match-3 game for the PICO-8 fantasy console where you swap adjacent gems on a grid to gain points. Unlike other popular match-3 games, any group of gems that directly touch on the grid are cleared, not just ones that are in the same row or column.
While you can make any move on the board that swaps two touching gems, you can only make three moves that don’t clear groups of gems before the game is over.
Blackout
Blackout is a command-line application that automates the process of making simple blackout poems, where characters and words of an original text source are removed to create an entirely new piece. It combs through a database of public-domain poetry to find one with characters that match a given message, then prints the resulting blacked-out poem to standard output.
Blackout is based on my article “Using Regular Expressions to Make Blackout Poetry”, and is written in Go.

This website is one of my projects! I use this website to both write about things that I find interesting and show off projects I’m working on.
