Continuum Six
Continuum Six is my blog, occasionally updated with notes from my life, photos I've taken, and my short stories. It's the publishing point for anything I see worth sharing which isn't software or fitting for a tweet.
@random_wiki
[Spring 2012] This is a Twitter account which tweets the first sentence of a random Wikipedia article, with a shortened link, every few hours. It's powered by a Python script, utilizing the Tweepy library for Twitter OAuth integration, and the Bit.ly API for link shortening. Source can be found on GitHub.
Nonsense Generator
[Spring 2012] Developed in response to a prompt in my poetry course ("write a poem which doesn't make any sense"), I made this mini-webapp to draw random words from user-specified websites and arrange them into nonsense poetry. Fun things to try are existing works of literature, as well as tech blogs and other news sources.
WebGL Fireworks
[Fall 2011] Co-developed with my friend and classmate Isaac Goldberg, this was our final project for CS123 (Intro to Graphics) at Brown. We use WebGL with lightgl.js to render a fireworks show amongst procedurally generated hills, all reflected over a lake. You can also fly through the scene, moving with WASD and looking by dragging your mouse. WebGL is not yet supported in many browsers; we recommend Chrome for viewing this demo.
Helicopter
[Fall/Winter 2011] The classic helicopter game, written in JavaScript and rendered on a HTML5 canvas. Complete with procedural tunnel generation and random obstacles. Right now it's a cool demo of HTML5, but it can be laggy on some systems and the graphics could be quite a bit better. At some point I'll make it a more legitimate game. Source can be found on GitHub.
Ballsy
[Spring 2011] Ballsy is a 2D puzzle platformer which I wrote with three friends as the final project for CS032 at Brown. We used Java with Box2D for physics and Processing for graphics, and created a fully featured level editor in addition to the game's basic functionality.
About
I'm a student at Brown University, and just finished the third year of my Computer Science concentration. I enjoy making software, TAing classes, writing fiction, running miles, and generally living life. I grew up in Seattle, but this summer I'm living in San Francisco, interning at Twitter. Find my most recent resume at the top of this page, or see my LinkedIn for more detail. This website was written by hand and has been tested in a majority of modern browsers. Thanks for visiting!
