well try to get points or coins for doing it!

Following on from below, this is a stand alone Windows utility that can convert a ZX Spectrum SCR screen dump file to
a Windows bitmap image! Made with Go so fast, safe and no dependencies!
☕ (Cybiko) Viewer - Java Application
The Java version of the obscure image viewer has had a massive update! A lot of the improvements are not visible including file loading being much stricter and code deduplication reduced. Support for ZX Spectrum SCR screen dumps has been added! The user interface is much more practical with a recent file list, file drop support and auto zooming / shrinking of small and large images. Being built with Java 25 (instead of 11) means memory usage may be lower and it may be faster. Click the link to check it out!

recompile with .Net 10 (64 bit) and a minor bug fix! Click the link to learn more and download.
🖌️ Animator - Windows Application
Animator has been updated, as well as many bug fixes, the main addition with the latest version is the ability to

that is well supported!
🧮 Maths Games - Browser Game
The games Maths Snake and Numeria have had a code cleanup! In Snake you need to eat the fruit that has the answer to the maths question.
Numeria is a turn based type game, if you land on an enemy you must correctly answer a maths question to defeat them! The clean up also
included converting images to PNG (then through Optipng) and script compressing using

It's now 64bit as well though it likely gains little from this...
🏎️ Search Engine Optimisation - Guide

the fact it is better for search engines is a bonus! It lists many of the changes this site has seen in an
attempt to modernise it!

🕹️ Another Adventure Part 2! - Browser RPG Game
Thought it was time to make the second part of this browser game! Following from where part 1 ended, your ship has crashed on the planet
while you teleported down! Find your ship and explore! This is different from the Java / Windows version as it
needed to be more self contained (no back tracking through different zones), this means a bigger map and two (three?) tasks on the one map.
Part 1 has been tweaked a little including some dialogue improvements and both games now share a lot of the same graphics. Both have also been checked and compressed by the surprisingly useful and also updated JavaScript Optimiser also on this site!
🔨 Help Desk - Windows Application
Returned and updated! This is a self contained Help Desk system made in Go. It was removed from the site as it was not very interesting
but has had a clean up and is back again! It can be used as a multi-user help desk / task logging system or similar and is customisable via a
css file. Click the link to find out more!
🍎 Apple Drop - Browser Word Game
Updated and cleaned up! Type in a word or phrase and get others to guess what it is! An apple falls from the tree with each incorrect guess!
This has been run through JS Optimiser so should load even faster too!
🔨 PC Utilities - Updates
All of the PC Utilities which were made using C# / .Net have been replaced with native versions made using
Google Go. This should make them easier to run (no extra runtime needed) and require less memory.
⚡ Website - Major Update!
The Applications, Windows (Games), Java and some of the Test area has been combined into an all new PC section.
This should make the site organisation more consistent and hopefully make things easier to find.
During this process, more content has be converted to webp (images) and 7zip (archives) which has shrunk the site so it should be
faster too!
🗜️ JavaScript Optimiser - Windows Utility
This command line tool has been improved resulting in even smaller output files and now includes a health check! For
this reason it has been moved out of the Test area and into Applications! Click the link for more details about the
program and how to use it!
Updated 13/01/2026: Now version 0.3 with various bugs fixed / improvements!
♦️ Twenty One - Browser Card Game
Based on the desktop game of the same name also on this site, take turns against the computer to
get a total of 21 (or near) without going over! To help you, you are shown the odd of getting a good card!
Click the link to check it out!
📱 Website - Mobile Devices
This site should now work a little better on mobile devices. On a small screen, the top menu bar is reduced
and pages that use tables but don't really need them have had them replaced. The above game has been made
with small screens in mind too.
🗜️ JavaScript Optimiser - Windows Utility
Mentioned before on this site that the Google Closure compiler is great but it is a little too complex for
my needs. My JS Optimiser is pretty fool proof, run from the command line, point it at a JavaScript
file and it outputs a file called 'compiled.js' with the white space and comments removed! Simple! Granted,
the file produced is not as small as the one by Closure, but for my files it is good enough! Click
the link to find it!
🕹️ Various Arcade Browser Game Updates
Following on from below, other games in the Browser Games section have also been updated including
Frogger,
Jet-Pac,
Turret Command
