Welcome back. Today, I’m sharing my version of the Magic 8 Ball game…you know, the one where you concentrate, and ask a question and shake the 8 ball to get the answer? I’m going to share its implementation in various languages (remember, I’m not a “programmer”, I’m a computer scientist…that means, I don’t like to […]

More Metamobius Prototypes
Welcome back. In a recent post, I talked about my most favorite geometric shape here. Continuing with that “obsession”, here are a handful of more prototypes of Metamobius shapes. The algorithm generates different shapes…I don’t know the limit yet (can be in thousands as far as I can tell), but I’ve selected a few that just […]
My Favorite Shape!
Howdy! Let me share with you a personal bit…my most favorite shape in the world (to-date, known to man so far) is Metamobius! Invented/discovered by Ted Gibbons of ON. There’s very little information on this on the Internet at the time of this accidental discovery, but I’m sure it’ll get more populated. Anyway, his algorithm […]
Continental-Love-or-Bite
Welcome back! Today, I present an application and its full source code of course that’s global! Yes, world-wide! Before we delve into it a little backstory about the idea of this “game”… Backstory: I had this idea about 10 years ago, where players would connect over the internet world-wide to my page and send “missiles” […]
Text-to-speech, Interactive Shopping List (in Scratch)
Welcome! Today, we’re going to try a program with a little more complexity and twists in Scratch. In this program, I demonstrate the following tips/tricks: How to use a List control real-time How to get inputs from user and take action accordingly How to convert Text-to-speech How to read variables real-time from calculations and let […]
Get Kids Excited About Coding!
Hello again, 10 years ago I coded some simple games for my son to show and tell and explain how fun and simple coding can be. These were not heavy duty coding I delve into as part of my work, rather to demonstrate logic and how to code, design basic interactions with users. I used […]
Games development using Construct
Hello again, today I will touch upon 2 games I created using an easy to use development platform called Construct. These were done using version 2 (today, they are in ver 3). They were just for my personal learning and fun. It’s mobile and all-platform friendly and there’s nothing to install. Just open the browser and […]
My Disco Lemonade!
This was one of my biggest personal development project that was never published to the world (until now!)…Media Impact. Back in 2001, I abandoned it due to other obligations, but it certainly holds the place of a Disco Lemonade in my portfolio because it has pretty much EVERYTHING and it’s tasty 🙂 Multimedia, concurrent audio, […]
Pet Management – A very early Windows 3.1 program
Now, I’ve always loved having fish as long as I remember. Still have fish 🙂 Ok, this isn’t really about a fish, but rather a coding exercise (in the 90s) while I was splashing around in Windows coding (pun intended). The idea is simple: You have a character (Goldfish in this example), and you have […]
Recall- One of my earlier Windows 3.1 programs
Hello again! So, here’s another of my older software programs I wrote for fun, education. This one’s a “simple” Windows 3.1 program I wrote back in 1995 while learning Windows coding myself (school taught me C, Pascal, COBOL LOL!!). This is a type of a memory game. You have to match at least 2 tiles […]
