just another late millennial wasting their potential
dad(jokes), demoscene, rendering, compilers, compression, FPGA, emulation, music production
here you'll find mostly personal projects/random stuff; professionally, I've spent 13 years breaking prod, most recently at arm
- github
- blog (previous blogs include everyweeks, blogspot)
- birb
- toots
- demozoo, logicoma, elix (previous groups include youth uprising, outracks, nazareth)
- twitch, where I used to livestream quite often, not as much these days
- youtube (mostly demo and stream recordings, some other stuff)
"notable", as in, "I think they're neat right now" - also, see demozoo for my demoscene productions
squishy (2016-2021)
Best-in-class executable packer for 64k intros.
xenowing (2018-2023)
A WIP FPGA "demo console" modeled after late '90's-/early 2000's-era game consoles, currently targeting the Mimas A7 dev board.
An HDL embedded in Rust. Basically driven by the xenowing project.
WaveSabre (2011-2022)
A software synthesizer and toolchain for music for 64k intros.
pulsejet (2021)
A bespoke sample compression codec for 64k intros, specifically designed for integration with WaveSabre.
demotivation (2016-2021)
The tool we made to make our 64k intros in logicoma. Includes a bespoke visual programming language with JIT compiler for driving GPU-based visuals, as well as custom codecs for mesh and motion capture compression. Not publicly released.
rustual boy (2016-2020)
A Virtual Boy emulator. This project actually reached 100% compatibility with the commercial game library, and in many ways is quite accurate. Its development spanned countless livestreams, and also included some cool custom serial/link connector/protocol and CPU fuzzing work, as well as (admittedly few) discoveries about the hardware, like these VSU cycle timings.
butterball (2015-2016)
A Blitz BASIC compiler and interpreter intended to run some code I wrote when I was 13 or so, and found years later.
Poly EP (2014)
My first commercially-released music. Sounds dated now, but I was crazy proud of it at the time.
not a complete list, but some stuff I'm particularly happy with
"Modern 64k Intro Compression" at Revision Online 2020
"Massive Sound, Tiny Data - WaveSabre 64k Synth" at demobit 2019
"Supercomposable UI in Fuse: Make Building Apps Playful, not Painful" at Samsung Developer Conference 2017
"Thinking Outside the Cartridge: Modern Ideas on Archaic Devices" at NVScene 2015
"WaveSabre - A Case Study in 64k Synthesis" at The Gathering 2013
bye, have a wonderful time
