Rush Hour Puzzle Solver project is a Rush Hour puzzle solver that illustrates the solution with PostScript.

Rush Hour Puzzle Solver is a small C++ program that reads a Rush Hour board from a text file and produces a nice PostScript file that shows the shortest solution.

Poopmup project is a shoot-em-up, with a twist.

Poopmup is a game, a sort of a shoot-em-up, but with a twist. As a child, you where tortured in the playground. You were a victim of the highschool hierarchy.

You hacked hours on end, and built a machine that transformed you into a bird.

You are now free (as in speech) to fly around the city and poop on passers-by.

It is written in C++ using OpenGL. We originally used GLUT as an upper layer, but recently moved to Simple DirectMedia Layer as it is easier to install for an end user and it is a more powerful tool to create user interfaces.

Monster Masher is an action game for the Gnome desktop environment.
In the old days, before man entered the world, the gnomes were abundant. Through centuries of hard labour, only slightly eased by the levitational powers provided to them by their god, they bored out shafts and caves in the mountains. Always seeking the precious stones and valuable ore...
But the gnomes dug too deep. So the story begins.
The basic idea is that you, as levitation worker gnome, has to clean the caves for monsters that want to roll over you. You do the cleaning by mashing the monsters with stone blocks. Take a look at the screenshots page to see how this looks like.
Main features:
- Mash your way through 30 levels (for hours of fun)
- Four kinds of monsters: stupid monsters, stupid-but-hard monsters, intelligent monsters, egg-laying monsters
- Power-up gems for invisibility, exploding the nearby monsters and freezing all monsters
- Easy, medium and hard difficulty levels (for even more hours of fun!)
- Support for two simultanous players (cooperative)
- Automatic support for large tiles for large displays

Monster application is a short SNES/NES style RPG. It is licensed under a BSD license.

Estimated playing time is 5-10 hours. If you are not patient, this game is probably not for you. There are a lot of random battles.

My goal when creating this game was to have it run on my Pentium 200MMX. I met the goal: it runs acceptably well on that old machine. The fact that it had to run on old hardware played a big factor in how fancy I could get. If you like Oldskewl graphics and gameplay, you may like Monster.

DarkWorld is a space based massively multiplayer realtime strategy game.
Each player starts off with their own home planet. From there they can build ships, start exploring the universe, colonize other planets, and attack other players.
What makes this game unique is that the game is always running at a very slow speed even when you are not connected. When you send a ship to another planet it may not arrive for hours or days and likewise the message it sends back may not arrive for hours or days.
This allows many players to engage in a realtime strategy game that could last for months. Also, new players can join the game at any time.
Enhancements:
- It has been a long time since the 0.1.0 release. Alot of changes have been made in the guts of the server. I think the game will be a bit more interesting now that players can attack each other. Hopefully the next release will not be so long in the making. I am planning on finding and fixing bugs that occur in 0.2.0 and then releasing 0.2.1, 0.2.2, etc. The idea is to stabilize the 0.2.X series since it is minimally playable before embarking on new features for 0.3.X. This strategy was not adopted for 0.1.0 because I did not feel it was worths spending the time to stabilize, too much needed to change so I immediately started working on 0.2.0.
