Blog

Stuff I say, conveniently accessible on the internet.

• Other things you may like A nonexhaustive list of... content/media... which I like and which you may also be interested in as a visitor of my site.
• 'Problem Solving' Tasks and Computer Science Is solving Sudoku and similar puzzles by hand really useful in building computer science ability? We don't think so.
• FTL tips We are not responsible if these tips cause your ship to implode/explode. Contains spoilers in vast quantities.
• Not Everyone Must "Code" Why I think that government programs telling everyone to "code" are pointless.
• New site design!
• On Phones My (probably unpopular in general but... actually likely fairly popular amongst this site's intended audience) opinions on smartphones today.

Experiments

Various random somewhat useless web projects I have put together over many years. Made with at least four different JS frameworks.

• Apioform Game A game about... apioforms... by Heavpoot.
• Arbitrary Points Collect Arbitrary Points and achievements by doing things on this website! See how many you have! Do nothing with them because you can't! This is the final form of gamification.
• AutoScorer Automatic score keeper, designed for handling Monopoly money.
• Colours of the Alphabet Colorizes the Alphabet, using highly advanced colorizational algorithms.
• Emu War Survive as long as possible against emus and other wildlife. Contributed by Aidan.
• GUIHacker My fork of GUIHacker. Possibly the only version actually on the web right now since the original website is down.
• Game of Life V2 Obligatory (John Conway's) Game of Life implementation.
• Heavpoot's Game It is pitch black (if you ignore all of the lighting). You are likely to be eaten by Heavpoot's terrible writing skills, and/or lacerated/shot/[REDACTED]. Vaguely inspired by the SCP Foundation.
• Idea Generator Generates ideas. Terribly. Don't do them. These are not good ideas.
• IncDec The exciting game of incrementing and decrementing!
• Infipage Outdoing all other websites with INFINITE PAGES!
• JHLT Tells you how late Joe's homework is.
• Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum (latin-like placeholder text)... FOREVER.
• RPNCalc v2 A Reverse Polish Notation (check wikipedia) calculator, version 2. Buggy and kind of unreliable. This updated version implements subtraction.
• RPNCalc v3 Reverse Polish Notation calculator, version 3 - with inbuilt docs, arbitrary-size rational numbers, utterly broken float/rational conversion and quite possibly Turing-completeness.
• RPNCalc v4 Reverse Polish Notation calculator, version 4 - increasingly esoteric and incomprehensible. Contributed by Aidan.
• Site Theming Apply custom CSS to most pages on here.
• Websocket Terminal Type websocket URLs in the top bar and hit enter; type messages in the bottom bar, and also hit enter. Probably useful for some weirdly designed websocket services.
• Whorl Dice-rolling webapp.
