SFCD update!
added a third vehicle, the Landmaster from SF64!
Thanks to @chuckborisnorris.bsky.social for the base code.
The trick here is the turret is the real player object and the body follows it. This lets me reuse the Arwing's movement code to move the turret separately. (1/2)

I made my other half a pop-up card for her birthday. I'm fucked next year; I can't top this

Right, what other nonsense has stopped me from modding Starfox... Oh yeah, DJ Kaktus! This was done by a friend putting biometric pads on a cactus. The result is a magnificent soundscape 😂

Fire performer friends were asking for Allen Pan's flame glove but I had to add buttons... It was just too much of a liability otherwise. Tbf it still is...

I suppose I should put some of the projects, that ive been working on over summer, online. Here ive got a laser projector running off a homemade vector console (rpi based), it plays pong, asteroid and battle tanks atm but im planning to add snake and some kind of platform PvP shooter as well

My mind's exploding with possibilities but I think I'm gonna need to learn lambda calculus to make them come true...

My friend'd son has been hounding me for years to make him a robot. He's only 9 so hopefully he won't know the difference between a robot and an RC car

Why do they always put the propellor on top of the hat instead of underneath the peak?

I got a new projector at the weekend so first thing to do: sync it up to my laser cannon 👍

The lady asked me if I could make a light small enough to fit on an earring. Here I used a 1.8mm led with a tilt-switch inside one of those tiny bottles from the a&c store. But it got me wondering...

How small can one make a self-contained light for under, say, 5 bucks?

Top tip: if you're being charged 40 quid for a board game, buy some beermats, get some friends round on a rainy day and make it yourself ;)

Hello world! People keep telling to put the crap I make online so I'm gonna be putting old/new projects up, just to show.
Starting with this; this was created using OpenGL, an Intel 3D camera and output to my laser projector using a Helios DAC, all in "real" time :)
