Picture of the MomentAutomatically Generated Photo Gallery

PoM is a php program designed to be able to be dropped on any php capable server and automatically create and maintain an image gallery. You simply tell it what directory to monitor, how many images per page, and where to store thumbnails. It will automatically detect any new images that are uploaded and create an appropriate thumbnail. You can either use an existing css sheet to style the gallery, or change the style within the source code.
Technologies: PHP, GD library

RepulsorArcade style space shooter

Small, arcade style video game originally developed for the 72 Hour Game Dev Competition. It was developed by a team of 3: Kevin (programming), Joe (art), and myself (programming), using the PyGame library. I later modified the initial entry to add in some different weapons and bullet patters. You can see a video of the weapons below

phpBB Image ArchiveAutomatically archive any posted images

I developed this script while running a phpBB based art community. As many images that are posted on a forum are linked from temporary hosting locations, old discussions tend to lose coherency. By automatically saving a copy of the linked images to another location, the posts and the art they contain are saved. This is a php script that is designed to be run by cron. Each time it runs, it scans all new posts for any images. It then saves the images it finds, and ftp's them over to a specified account, where it organizes the files by poster id, and post id. In the phpBB template, I've added a 'view archived' link under each post that can then pull up any images that have been saved for that post
Technologies: PHP, MySQL, FTP

Drifting on Stellar Winds2D space exploration browser MMO

Drifting on Stellar Winds was prototyped during the last Ludum Dare 48 hour competition but quickly grew in scope. It is designed as a 2d top down space game with an emphasis on exploration and procedurally generated universes and ai's. Solar radiation from nearby stars and solar bodies generate currents that players can utilize to manuever around.
Technologies:Flash, Javascript, Perl, MySQL, Python, Drupal, AppEngine

Misc. Scriptsassorted small programs

Hyperspace demo - Using Flash and Away3d to generate a fake hyperspace effect. Rotates a large cone around the camera and moves the texture. Arrows or wasd to move, space to fire.

Flash racing - Testing road effects in Flash in an attempt to make a road rash clone.

MockerBot - An irc chatbot built up from Net::IRC in Perl with many custom modules added. Can parse equations, do basic conversation responses, run a game of battleship, parse information from many different websites and more.

Meme Generator - Simple mashup that takes a random image from livejournal and pairs it up with madlibs style memes. NSFW . Because the images are random and not moderated they may be nsfw.
