Standalone softwareDithering and risograph studio · working

Dot Garden

A tool for making layered images with dithering, risograph colours and print patterns.

I used it to make the images on this site’s project cards.

Standalone softwarePixel art editor · in progress

Square Dance

A pixel art editor: draw, layer and transform, trace a photo into blocks, or match a picture to a palette from classic machines (NES, Game Boy, C64, PICO-8 and more).

A companion to Dot Garden and Plot Twist, so pictures can pass between them.

Standalone softwareSurtitles for live performance · in progress

On Book!

Surtitles that follow the actors: it tracks the script as they speak, and translates live when they leave it. The script is prepared as a table of cards in several languages.

I made it to surtitle live theatre.

TouchDesignerMedia server and show control in TouchDesigner · working

FADE ENGINE

A media server and cue console in TouchDesigner. The console holds the cue list, follows and OSC to QLab and Eos; the render node holds the scenes, the crossfade engines, the projector outputs and the shutters. Moves have a duration, cues follow, and BACK always steps back; a Stream Deck plays it.

A media server I’ve been working on for a long time — since The Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst, in many ways, and through QLab driving TouchDesigner on more than twenty shows. It was first tested at scale in the Echo Engine workshops, then ran six projectors for HEIST at the Arts Club Theatre Company in 2026.

Standalone softwarePen plotter software · in progress

Plot Twist

A desktop app for the AxiDraw pen plotter. It turns photos and generated patterns into line drawings, places them on the paper, orders the pen’s path and drives the plotter. Each plot is kept in a record with its pen and settings.

I made it for my own drawing on an AxiDraw SE/A3.

Standalone softwareDrum practice app · in progress

Stickler

A rhythm game for a drum practice pad. It listens to the pad, judges every stroke against the click in milliseconds, early or late, and teaches each exercise with an animated pair of sticks. It runs in the browser on a laptop.

I made it to practise rudiments at home while learning drums, on the way to playing with other people.

GamesGame · web edition · in progress

Holy Guacamole!

A game: Caballero Avocado stands in a checkerboard tunnel and walls come at him, each with a hole. Be in the hole when the wall arrives. The web edition adds walls that stop, retreat and lunge, holes that slide and orbit, new 8-bit art and worlds to travel through; multiplayer is planned.

My first game, made in Scratch in 2017 during CS50; every picture, sound and the song are mine.

Games3D packing puzzle · working name · prototype

Stowage

A puzzle game about packing a shipping container by crane. You aim each piece from above; dropped, it falls straight down, so gravity decides the depth. A full layer is sealed; a gap trapped under freight never fills.

I’m testing whether depth can be read from above at all. The name, the views and the colours are still open.

TouchDesignerTouchDesigner component · v1

Print Lab

Paint dabs, offset colour and newspaper treatments: a painting as if printed, with the marks and the colour registration of each process.

Standalone softwareTheatre drafting in Blender · name to come · early

Drafting for Blender

A Blender extension for theatre drafting — plans, sections and the paperwork of a set. On the way.

I want to draft shows in Blender instead of Vectorworks.
