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.

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.
