tildeverse
This is a list of all the users in the Tildeverse.
It used to be cron'd, but the December server reset broke it.
I'll fix it up at some point, don't worry.

quiz
Take a quiz to see which Tilde Town ~user you are!
Words are compiled by scraping the public_html of all Tildees.
The aspect of this that took the most time was the colour scheme.
As you can see, I nailed it.

tilde
The idea for this is a sort of tilde tane.
A collection of tilde themed JavaScript sketches that lead to the next.

crossword
The first thing I made using Tilde Town IRC data.
Literally just inputting it into a JavaScript crossword generator.
Quite cute as a first little project.

here to say
This is probably the best thing I'll ever make.

roses are red
A successor to Here To Say, but missing a certain something.
Proof that some concepts live or die by the quality of their gifs.

famouslastwords
An anonymised output of the last lines that were spoken by each ~user in chat.
Faces are generated with a ruby script, using the name as seed.
Kinda nice, but too CPU intensive to cron.

War Trudge

Crouched by bluebells,
Stumbling and floundering,
I saw his eyes close.
Distant rest began to work its own death.
One dies of war trudge.

Dead men tried to peg out soldierly fatigue;
A scarlet ferry across the channel
Bent double like time.
All went lame but limped on,
Deaf even to the trudge.

His hanging face, him drowning.
The magnificent recession of
Disappointed froth-corrupted farewell.
We in Paradise are cursed and hurting.
In your fifty smothering dreams, you too.

Can't shake hands now.
Less life than white existence.
Even microbes have their backs
Towards our sev'rance.

If in some prejudiced parts
When I'm lugged gargling from the dust,
Bitter as the devil's sick
And ripped from far Nirvana...

    With my every jolt
    Being the wind,
    Nothing more than air...

Must I be his load?

— Let's die home
With any old disease
And miss the drowning.

We'd hate to live dead.

What? That's it? That's all they got?
    Quickly, quickly, everyone on board.
Stay close! I want to tie this snake into a knot!
    It's working. We are getting power restored.

Sheesh, this place looks REALLY inviting!
    Awesome! More killer vines... Joy.
What? Figuring everything out? Keep fighting!
    I smell something to destroy!

Now there is a place for me to climb!
    Lots of damage... let's hope those cranes hold.
Upgrade to make Rings regenerate over time!
    Knocking down walls will not get old.

    We were able to locate the plants you desired.
    Nintendo 3DS Connect Required

tetris
The only project I ever finished in Unity.
It's a reasonably faithful port of Game Boy Tetris.
It even includes the 'heart mode' Easter egg.

pacman
My attempt to make a Pac-Man clone using the disgusting ADABAS Natural language.

zelda
Coming soon...
It's a secret to everybody.

According to my sensors, we are close to the center!
    I'd forgotten how beautiful they are.
Princess, not even you may enter.
    Only Cyrus made it this far.

This trading house. Many things for trade.
    Now we've got a winning team!
Enjoy yourselves at the moonlight parade!
    The past is dead. It was all just a dream...

Yet those memories most often are sad ones.
    Magus's army is awfully well trained!
Weapons include swords, bows, and guns.
    Aaah!! My powers are being drained!

    Listen well, my friends...
    ...this can't be the way the world ends...

name chain game
My first Twitterbot!
Tweets chains of celebrity names using a simple Markov model.
After a while, the output started to become repetitive, so I called it quits.

auto_automata
Tweets the output image of a one dimensional cellular automaton.
The December server reset broke the Ruby code, but I will cron this up again in future.

snowball
Tweets a short procedurally-made poem every day.
These were curated from an output of literally millions of lines.
I would comb through these to find ones that made sense.
Then comb through those to find ones that were poetic.
There was so much effort involved that I just had to stop.
I hated that a human was doing most of the work.
I felt this was dishonest for supposed procedurally generated content.
This project was put to rest on New Year's Day 2017.
If it ever is resurrected, it will be 100% automated.

I.
She comes! I hear the rustling of her gown,
  His polish'd and perfect limbs.
They rise together, they slowly circle around.

II.
I swear I will never henceforth have to do with the faith that tells
  Darkness, you are gentler than my lover, his flesh was sweaty and panting,
    Heard the continuous thunder as it bellow'd after the lightning,
  Of the mad pushes of waves upon the land, I them chanting,
A windrow-drift of weeds and shells.

III.
Cautiously peering, absorbing, translating.
  Gathering and showing more always and with velocity,
    Therefore I send you my poems that you behold in them what you wanted.
      With the poet, the skald, the saga, the myth, and the oracle,
    O to struggle against great odds, to meet enemies undaunted!
  Health, defiance, gayety, self-esteem, curiosity;
None born but it is born, conceal'd or unconceal'd the seed is waiting.

life
A JavaScript version of Conway's Life.
My first biggish JavaScript project.
If you want nightmares, view the source.

christmas singalong
Sing the words of well known songs and poems to the tune of varoius Christmas carols.
Takes advantage of the fact that many songs are written in the common metre.

chords
A bunch of songs I want to play, but haven't memorised the chords yet.
I play the piano, but often the chords online are for capoed guitar.
So these are all transposed to be in their original key.

I think you've lit my fuse!
    Once out in the desert, stay still and don't walk.
Don't get mad even if you lose.
    Did you say the Shinra!? What are they up to!? Talk!

You mean to tell me that's the extent of my powers?
    I came here by my own free will... Or so I thought.
The Promised Land will soon be ours.
    Me? I was mesmerized by the way Sephiroth fought.

Shinra, Inc. This week's phrase.
    But when I saw her, she looked fine.
She seems all right, ...in many ways.
    Damn! So they was just buyin' time!?

    I have the sheet music for that song.
    Don't forget me even if another Cait Sith comes along.

wisdom
Almost-insightful, faux-perceptive semi-coherence.
Inspired by the tweets of Yoko Ono and Jaden Smith.
I actually kept writing them for a few months after, but didn't post them.
It just kind of felt like lol-engrish punching down.

no one should ever hear this but
~karlen has a page compiling heartbreaking confessions and existential minutiae.
I have a page compiling poorly played faux-blues key-of-C vampings.

responsive robot
This was the first responsive web page I ever wrote, circa 2005.
Not terribly interesting to share, but it's web 1.0 and thus pretty tilde.

unfinished toys
My plan for this was a pairing of childrens toy reviews with disturbing images.
I couldn't find enough pictures that would work, so I just abandoned the project.

too many tooks
This was at one point a Dank Meme.

that girl so scandalous
I wanted to see if you could do CSS shading on emojis.
Turns out you can, but at what cost?

The world pours.

Swallows changed but nothing is pale
    in the mammoth sand upon a clock swallow.
It will flat in its whiplash hand corners
    and then to me; or else.

The dust earth of the root on its hill
    has cringe longer stickiness.
Summer, flies
    wounded the ocean.
The bones in the vice of the steel of inspection.

The owl roosting, collapsed a pig.
Convenience is her blue-dark glow.

Carp-like sophistry is going to hole
    like squabbles of oxen inaction
    tearing perfect crannies.
        A jab
    from the body: flings a jig.

    Bare-blown perfect tide-rip.
        With the swallow screech
    the sobbing depth
        slakes scissors at the top.
            The key feather:
                be idle.
