Before I become a videogame pundit and novelist, I was a programmer for Activeworlds. Sometimes I begin graphics programming projects and write about them here in a language intended for non-coders.
Project Octant I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data. Then everything changes halfway through and I end up making something else entirely.

Project Frontier I decided to make a procedurally generated world larger than World of Warcraft, with differing climates and topographies, that could be endlessly re-created on the spot. I mostly pulled it off.

Pixel City This project was about making a city using nothing but simple cubes and lighting tricks. It's more an experiment in digital fakery than about raw coding challenge.

Terrain Project My first programming project on the site. It was a modest effort, aimed at making simple height-mapped terrain. Very simple by today's standards, but a fun project.
