I’ve decided to close discuss.gg after several years of running it. It had peaks and troughs over the years but more recently usage became minimal. Thanks everyone who used it!

For portfolio purposes, I’ve attached some screenshots below.

Today I tried something new and created a Firefox Theme based on the colours of Steam. It’s on the Mozilla Add-on website here. The entire process was relatively painless although I’m not sure Mozilla’s automated approval process was happy with the SVG so I switched to JPG.

The source code is here.

I have a bit of a soft spot for the Ruby programming language. Something about using it is enjoyable. I’ve mainly used Ruby in the past for websites via Ruby on Rails so I was pretty pleased to see the Ruby games framework DragonRuby get released recently. During my day to day work I do a lot of maths and charting but I’ve never written a chart from scratch before so here is my attempt at a line chart using DragonRuby.

The source code is here and the global temperature data came from here.

So far my impressions of the framework are good. It’s brand new so clearly isn’t feature complete and I’ve had a few problems but the developers are doing a great job of sorting things promptly.

I’ve recently release a new Android App to track intermittent fasting, which I’ve been doing in real life for a few months now. The app is mostly for my own use but figured I’d put it on the store in case it is of any interest to anyone else.

Lightweight intermittent fasting app that allows you to start a fast for a target period, get notified when the period is up and keeps a history of previous fasts.

Here are some screenshots from the app.

This is an attempt to create a car in Unity without using the in-built Wheel Colliders loosely based off of the technical description in this video from Space Dust Racing.

The car uses raycasts and a suspension system to keep “afloat”. Screenshots below.
