Experiments

In my spare time I really enjoy fiddling with code (usually javascript because it is quick and easy). Though most of my experiments go no where in a hurry, every once in a while things will come together into something worth putting out there for other people to see (and hopefully enjoy)...

Simple Sudoku Solver

A nifty little app that interactively solves a sudoku as you enter the numbers.

February 2010 (Updated June 2010)

 
Fractals

Small canvas applications that demonstrate various simple geometric fractals.

May 2010

 
Cloth Simulation

An extremely simple cloth simulation based on point masses and 2 dimensional constraints.

Numbers to Words

An exercise in the ridiculous. This is a simple program that converts integers into words. What makes it ridiculous is that it is only 8 lines of (completely un-readable) code.

N-Bodies Particle System

This just a simple physics simulator that models particles (that have velocities) and wells (which apply 'gravitational' forces). Definitely one of my favorites...

April 2009

 
Quantum Cryptography

For the project portion of a cryptography course I decided to implement a demonstration as to how quantum cryptography works. (Not recommended for older browsers...)

Drip Sessions

A fun little doodling program that aims to mimmic a certain (messy) style of graffiti.

February 2009

 
Something A Day

A nifty little rails app that lets me keep track of one memorable 'something' everyday. I'm hoping to keep this up for at least 1 year. I suppose it is also an experiment in terms of data collection and processing.

Started January 2009, Finished January 2010

 
Robotic Arm

A demo of what Bacon and Eggs can do. By clicking within a simple robotic arm's reach, the arm has to solve a system of non-linear equations to get the joint angles such that it reaches the point you selected.

This Website

This website itself is an experiment. I'm always learning new things and I think the entire site is an expression of this fact.

Started November 2008

 

I've always got a trillion ideas in my head, it is a shame that so few actually get implemented...
