🖥️ Viewer - Windows Application
Viewer has had a code clean-up and some bugs have been fixed! It is now a .NET 9.0 application so may be more efficient too!
🖥️ Anagram - Windows Application
This is a Windows version of the Java Application of the same name! It was made using .Net 9.0 so should be fast and
efficient! As mentioned below, I will probably move more programs to .NET in time.
These Python programs are part of my push to use programming languages the rest of the world use! None do any heavy lifting so Python is fine for them, it they did any real work, almost any other programming language would be a better choice!
🐍 Processing files in a folder using Python - Test Area
I wanted a way to run the contents of a folder through ffmpeg and turn some mp4 files into avi's my dvd player could play. This
program reads through a folder and, depending on file extension, passes it to another program. The program has been extended to
optimize PNG and convert JPEG's to JPEG XL files!
🐍 Popular lottery numbers using Python - Test Area
CSV parsing example, this program reads the (UK) National Lottery Thunderball csv file available from their website and shows the most
popular main ball numbers (between 1 and 39) and the Thunderball numbers (1 to 14).
🐍 Bitmap to RLE compressed array using Python - Test Area
Some of the web games on this site (like Chuckie Egg Returns) have their game maps embedded in the source. To make the JavaScript game file
smaller and therefore quicker to download, they are run through a program like the one featured here!
🐍 Generating simple passwords in a CSV file using Python - Test Area
This program will generate and put a password into a CSV file if it detects a field called 'Password' in the header. Note that this only
generates simple random passwords and should not be used for anything serious as is!
In order to simplify this website and make things easier to find, the following changes have been made:
❌ D Language Area - For various reasons, this area has been chopped. The two programs worth looking at (Path / Ray Tracing) and their guides have been moved to a D section of the Test Area.
✔️ The Windows Command Line Utilities in the Test Area have been updated and now require the .NET 9.0 Console App runtime. Some of the utilities from the D Area now have .NET versions there too, the rest will likely follow in time. Moving to .NET 9.0 should mean faster, safer and more efficient programs.
✔️ The Applications area has had a tidy, all the applications (Java and Windows) are listed together instead of separated. The area looks much nicer now! The two web server type applications (Help Desk / Sentinel) have been removed, these were made in Go which meant keeping around another compiler. I doubt they will be missed. In time I may make .NET versions of some of the Java only applications.

🚀 Menastar - Browser Game
My Deathstar / Sinistar type game has had both an update and a sequel! The first web version has had a code clean-up and the sequel features a larger play area and simpler controls, you only need to fly near the enemy battle station and your ship automatically fires!
Click the link to check them both!
☕ Java Area - Website
The Java area has had a bit of redecoration! Many of the pages in the guides section mention about using a memory safe language (like Java), moving away from Python for performance (to Java for example) and reducing the number of languages you use (Java?) so I thought re-arranging the Java area and adding a few programming guides would not hurt! Click the link to check them out!
🪨 Diamond Mine IV (4) - Browser Game
The Boulder Dash / Repton clone Diamond Mine has had a long overdue update! The main difference is that everything is bigger, the previous version was aimed at lower resolution displays. There are also many other minor changes that improve the overall experience. Click the link to play!

🧠 Fruit Guesser - Browser Game

As mentioned below, the Amiga Imagine 3D Renders that were hosted on Youtube are now here! I found a new video too (Jackhammer raytraced) that is also there as well. Click the link to view them in your browser now!
🚧 Online Changes - Website
Various changes to my online presence:
❌ Neocities - A partial copy of this site (non downloads) was hosted for a time at Neocities. They are a great host that offered easy feedback and other great features. The downside was it meant double the work keeping it current. The site hosted there is now gone but I do recommend them if you need easy fast hosting!
❌ Youtube - The Youtube channel is now deactivated / private. I had little to add and maintaining a constant stream of videos would take time. The only videos of note (the Amiga Imagine renders) are now here in the Amiga section.
❌ BlueSky (Social) - Also deactivated. Given how these sites work, nothing stays visible for very long. Maintaining takes time and seemed to be for little gain. Hopefully my 5 followers / bots will understand.
➖ Mastodon - No deactivate option but will let it sleep. Same reasons as above. It also seemed slow and unreliable whenever I used it. This also had 5 followers/bots, hopefully they will understand too! After some thinking I may post new things to it...
In short, my programs, content and ramblings will be found here, please check back every now and then for updates. Bookmarking would be great and thanks for looking!
