Hacks

These are hacks that aren't important enough to go in the software section.

painter:

An implementation of the picture language described in section 2.2.4 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, using the GIMP and Script-Fu.

separate:

Another bit of Script-Fu that separates an image into its component colors.

DOOM 83:

Some old assembly code for the TI-83 graphing calculator.

gallery.py:

My image gallery-generating software.

SGRenderer:

A simple perspective projection renderer.

Visualizing sorting algorithms

monchat:

A chat system for monsters.

Ping of death:

An implementation using libdnet.

goclient:

A go program that lets you play with more than two players.

Old QBasic programs:

Some programs I made in my early days of programming.

Gödel, Escher, Bach:

Typogenetic self-reps and other things.

Commando Colton:

A video game for DOS where you kill Putties from Power Rangers.

Some more without individual pages.

• guess-0.5.tar.gz. A guess-the-number game, written by me in (apparently) 1999. It appears I was coming to grips with having a program consisting of more than one C file. It's an interesting historical artifact, notable for the unusual indentation style.
• monty.tar.gz. An interactive, graphical (with GTK+) simulation of the Monty Hall problem. You pick and door and then decide whether to stick with it or switch; the program counts how often you win using each strategy. I wrote this to try to convince my ex-girlfriend Laura that switching is the better strategy.
