Virtual cube with multiple face and cube view rotation methods, find solution (in under 20 moves), input custom cube state, remap face colors, save/open cube states, view from multiple angles, solution tutorial, and timer

I’ve always been a bit obsessed with the rubiks cube...

Project canceled. Very long story. See project content section.

Don’t let your dreams quietly slip away...

Renders real-time dynamically created (diamond-square algorithm) fractal landscapes with 5 detail levels (1=barely any, 5=incredible detail).

Very long project with lots of history. Plays (some) NES games! ^_^

Sometimes people can be real a-holes...

Finds the word worth the most points for a scrabble board/rack state using a highly optimized brute force approach

This was beyond useful as the server liked to accept anything from the clients even if it wasn’t supposed to be allowed.

Futzing around with false security

I Originally tapped the MMORPG executable memory and pulled the “hidden” character information from it. The second version edited the executable itself and had it display the information in the client’s GUI.

When you want something, sometimes you have to do it yourself

I really liked some backgrounds on a virtual computer desktop of the first .Hack PS2 games and wanted them for my computer, so I got them.

This might be usable for other PC or console games, most likely more PS2 games, as they might use this same file archive format. The program might take a little tweaking for them however.

This renders escape-time fractals from the Julia set, as opposed to my Fractal Landscape project which makes Random Fractals. These are basically a type of recursive math function that makes beautiful infinitely zoomable patterns.

Weee Solitaire! This was written in the age when Klondike Solitaire was the norm before FreeCell and Spider started taking over peoples' lives.

Source code is currently in a complete mess and needs a serious reworking. I actually wrote the base code for this project out entirely on paper when I was at a relatives for the summer and without access to a computer. Surprisingly enough, it worked perfectly after I typed it in without a hitch. This was the very first real programming project I did, as I was learning my first modern computer language. I was rather proud of it at the time. I wrote it the summer before I entered the 6th grade.

This was an experiment to get some solid performance numbers from computationally expensive processes written in different languages.

With a little 3D knowledge involving vectors and matrices, true 3D engines can be written in any language. Speeding up these engines however is a little tougher.

The more program instances you add, the creepier it gets!

#1 99% of the time, a person will enjoy an incredibly unsophisticated cute program over a highly complex real time one, ie, a dynamic fractal landscape
#2 Do not base program time-based events on the assumption that everyones computer runs the same as yours. Add actual time (millisecond) based sleeps and checks. (The easter egg originally broke when moving from my [486?] to my [pentium?] because it was based on doing certain actions in a certain amount of clock cycles [computer based time]).

Originally used for a senior English project in high school (which I may put up later), I ended up turning it into a computer language speed comparison

VB Runtimes not required for C version

A project to be able to find the optimal solution of any cube state of the Rubiks cube in the smallest possible number of moves

Still waiting for the day I can complete this...

Just some puzzle games I cloned way back when...
