Fun / Tech Demos
Soundboard
A little web app originally created for a friends podcast. He wanted something he could run locally inside of dropbox and can be referenced with keyboard shortcuts.
Updated Nov 2019 to remove jquery and mousetrap as the native apis are super powerful
Ingrid Intimidator
I wanted an excuse to play with some html5 audio and canvas, so created a fun little game for Critical Hit Show.
Yet Another Online Interaction Role Playing Game
A silly little web based game myself and a couple other students made for one of our BCIT classes. The ask was to make a website.
It was codenamed YAOI RPG, mostly for the giggles, because few knew what yaoi was. Officially it stood for:
Yet Another Online Interaction Role Playing Game
The teacher was really impressed as most people just made generated e-commerace sites using tools provided. Teach proclaimed how much he loved yaoi now.
Useful open source projects
Flask Atlassian Connect
Little library to make it easier to write atlassian cloud integrations. I personally used it to write a bamboohr integration. We used it a couple of times at saucelabs to write a couple other applications as well. This is my first released python module.
Jenkins projects
Legacy projects
Electronic Convention Management
A project I worked on with Stephen Tiu for some of the conventions we volunteered at. We created it as an attempt to be a self manage ticketing system that could be setup once, then reused from year to year.
Some features include:
- Multiple Ticket options
- History of past tickets
- QR Code generation
Sadly a bunch of the dependancies are no longer available, this was before the days of composephp, so its pretty broken
MUDs
Dark Warriors
The second of two MUDs I worked on.
Starwars Themed mud based on the SWR codebase. Some chunks taken from my other attempts, but lots of new functionality as well.
Created by both Mark Gottselig and myself (Gavin Mogan), as well as a other people submitting pieces along the way.
Unknown Regions
The first MUD project I deveoped and ran. Conflicts between adminstrators caused the project to shut down with a large part of the assets going missing, but I was able to save the actual codebase and some content.
Starwars Themed mud based on the SWR codebase.
Some of the features include: (At time of writing its been more than 10 years)
- Adult Emote Support
- Bone breaking and healing
- Child bearing
- Crafting
- Random events such as earthquakes
Everything else
Hipchat Dance Party
Wrote a fun little hipchat plugin during atlassian dev week. Sadly the spotify api has since gone away so the service had to be shut down.
Not the Plants
Created a game with a couple other people for the Pirate Software Jam 2024. Its a tower defense game. We got a decent little prototype done in one week.
