Digital Stuff I've Made

I've made some cool stuff digitally. Here I've tried to collect it all into an easy-to-read page.

This list may be incomplete. If there's a cool thing I did that I forgot about, let me know I guess.

Standalone programs

Janky kludges you shouldn't use

• A triangle solver which doesn't work

• No Setup Syndication, an RSS feed reader browser extension (Do not use this! It is janky and barely functional. If you want a feed reader without accounts or ads I recommend QuiteRSS)
  Released 2021-01-12.
  Pages from the development of No Setup Syndication:

  1. No Setup Syndication is ready (2021-01-12)
  2. No Setup Syndication: Now in a technically usable state (2021-01-05)
  3. Quick RSS feed reader update (2020-12-31)
  4. The quest for a decent RSS feed reader (2020-12-30)

Janky kludges you should use

• RSS feed generator for the Rarebit webcomic framework
• Tic-tac-toe in only HTML generation script: Someone else made tic-tac-toe in only HTML, but it was overly redundant so I took it upon myself to make a nonredundant version.
• The Picrew Downloader Bookmarklets, which download the layered images from Picrew in the OpenRaster format. Released 2022-08-10.
  • This is a remake of the Picrew Downloader browser extension, released 2021-04-18, but it's better as bookmarklets I decided.
• make-parent.sh, a shell script for joining the heads of 2 or more e-mail threads. Code of the day 2022-07-20.
  Fabian was impressed with the amount of sed syntax I learned in one day.
• gifthermal, a tool to visualize the compression efficiency of GIF images, inspired by pngthermal. Published 2022-01-15.
  • The prequel: A gif library in Python
• I took the Computer Programming class in my high school, and here is the best work I did from there. These are all Python 3 programs from circa 2021-03.
  • A text adventure game where you play as a dragon meeting a human. The example shown to the class was a game where the player character was a human, and the only two outcomes were a dragon sharing treasure with them or a dragon eating them. I expanded on that.
  • A sorting algorithm visualizer. It uses turtle graphics because that was the assignment, but I've added a text display because my laptop can't use Python turtle graphics. I went way overboard on this; the actual assignment was just to display the list before and after sorting.
  • A "horoscope generator" (random phrase generator). The assignment was to make a random phrase generator with a theme, so I picked horoscopes and just made them super confident in wacky things.

• The WordPress theme Chroma Park, a modernized version of Green Park from 2006. Published 2021-01-07.
  Pages from the development of Chroma Park:

  1. Chroma Park is released! (2021-01-07)
  2. Carolina Nymark reviews Chroma Park (2020-12-13)
  3. Alexandru Cosmin reviews Chroma Park (2020-11-04)
  4. Chroma Park (2020-10-24)
• McJar Font Getter, written in JavaScript, which seemed like a good idea at the time I guess? It turned the font in a Minecraft .jar file into an OTF font. Initial release 2020-07-15.
• I contributed to the Pronoun Dressing Room and PIL Tool on asteine8.github.io on 2020-02-28. I have apparently improved since then because my commits make me want to go what were you thinking, past me, but uhh the cool part was building on existing code, which I seem to remember being commented well and easy to navigate, so good job asteine8 if my past self's memory is correct.

Media

• vintafade.gif (2021-05-26). it's just a gif of a box of vinta fading, showing what happens to boxes of vinta left near me (the vinta disappears via me eating it all :p )
• I animated a video about the PNG image format.. Published 2021-04-12.
  • The prequel: A brief foray into animated PNG (2020-12-04)
• I was on a podcast hosted by my friend Maple. I don't remember most of what happened but that's cool. The episode was released 2020-11-20.
• I was the voice of a screaming person in a 5-hour video filled largely with screaming people (credited as mincerafter42 in the description). Video released 2020-09-03.
• Starting on 2020-04-17, I began making edits of El Goonish Shive for humour. I traced the font the author used, which was unavailable anywhere. On 2020-10-10 I began uploading some of the edits to Reddit
• The card game mɛkso, a game about maths. Published 2019-11-07.
• I made a YouTube channel on 2017-04-13 and published videos there, but I deleted the channel because I just didn't feel like distributing content on YouTube idk. Most of the content was not very good.
• I made stuff on Scratch starting 2016-02-27, but i kinda don't want to make my scratch account public because I was like 12 and way less skilled at programming than I am now.
