Games Notification
This site is alive but I’ve been busy with life and writing casual browser games as opposed to casual essays recently. Here’s a selection of what’s available at the moment. These also appear at Web Applications - there have been several recently.

Sokoban Gardener
An implementation of the Classic ‘Sokoban’ puzzle game with a gardening theme, levels browser with filters and demos for thousands of levels playing back precomputed solutions. Run using React 19; TypeScript 5.6; Vite 6; HTML5 Canvas API. Solutions pre-computed offline using the Festival solver on AWS EC2 Windows. Still in development. Closed source.
Snack Attack
A fast-food themed Space Invaders game built with React, TypeScript, and HTML5 Canvas. Defend against invading burgers, fries, and soft drinks! Same play mechanic as ‘Classic Invaders’. Touch friendly controls on touch friendly devices. Closed source.
Leaf Shooter
A bubble shooter type game where players aim and fire colored leaves to match 3+ of the same color. Matched leaves pop, and any leaves no longer connected to the ceiling fall. Features continuous level progression, particle effects, sound, watercolor paper texture throughout, and autumnal theme with automatic light/dark support. Think of it as something to do when you’re on a long call. Built with React, TypeScript, and originally with Canvas but now ported to PixiJS (thanks, Safari!). Closed source.
Classic Invaders
A Space Invaders-style fixed shooter game built with React, TypeScript, and HTML5 Canvas. Applies a retro CRT aesthetic with scanlines and glow (switchable to help out low-power devices).
