Super work-in-progress web game. Arrow keys/wasd/hjkl to move, c to change color scheme.

Brutalist Websites "Light"

2018-07-03T00:00:00+00:00

A web scraper set up to pull posts from brutalist websites and generate a paginated version of the site with ten posts per page.

The original site — while a great collection of interesting web design (I have separate issues with using the term brutalism here) — is over 200mb when fully loaded. I built this scraper to make this site a bit more friendly to people on capped data connections, slow connections, or slow computers.

daycalc

2018-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

This script calculates the number of days between two dates, or the date a certain number of days before/after another date.

Output is as minimal as possible, either an ISO8601 formatted date or a number.

I often need this information because of net30 invoices (figuring out when to set the due date, how long it’s been since I sent an invoice, etc) and every web site I found to do this was clunky or too much work.

import datetime, sys

def main(argv):
  start = None
  end = None
  diff = 0
  for index, arg in enumerate(argv):
    if (arg == "-s" or arg == "--start"):
      start = datetime.datetime.strptime(argv[index + 1], "%Y-%m-%d")
    elif (arg == "-e" or arg == "--end"):
      end = datetime.datetime.strptime(argv[index + 1], "%Y-%m-%d")
    elif (arg == "-d" or arg == "--diff"):
      diff = int(argv[index + 1])

  if (start != None and end != None):
    print((end - start).days)
  elif (start != None and diff != 0):
    print(start + datetime.timedelta(diff))
  elif (end != None and diff != 0):
    print(end - datetime.timedelta(diff))
  else:
    print('''
  Welcome to daycalc
  All date formats must be ISO8601, YYYY-MM-DD

  -s, --start     set start date
  -e, --end       set end date
  -d, --diff      set difference

  Setting a start and end will return the number of days between the two (exclusive)
  Setting a start and a diff will give you the date [d] days after the start date
  Setting an end and a diff will give you the date [d] days before the end date
''')

Writer's Flock

2018-01-28T00:00:00+00:00

A local-multiplayer party/cooperative writing game in which all players try to write the best story, all based on other players’ sentences. Made in two days for Global Game Jam 2018.

I wrote the client, a web page with JS scripts for communicating with the server. The Unity game (made by Connor Botts) starts a local server and displays an IP address, so anyone on the same network can connect via their client devices. The client and server communicate with each other using websockets.

Twitter Origifier

Browser extension to automatically add :orig to the end of twitter images. Download for Chrome or Firefox

moodbored

2017-08-01T00:00:00+00:00

Moodboard/inspiration collection app made in electron, pulls from a local folder and shows you a grid of images with subdirectory navigator. Tons of customizable options. Download Source

Note! this current version is being deprecated, as i want to rebuild it in something that’s not electron (probably PyQT? C++ QT would probably be better but i’d rather not learn that many new thing at once on a project!). This page will be updated later with that new version whenever it has the same features listed here!

Features

View folders of images on your computer
Change css to suit your style (dark background? rounded corners? etc)
Drag images from your computer or web browser directly into the gallery to add to the current folder, or onto a folder name to add to that folder instead
Drag a folder into the view to open a new directory
Protip: have the directory be a cloud-synced folder (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) and have it update across computers
- OR, have it be a shared cloud-synced folder to have a collaborative moodbored/inspiration folder

Suki's Soul Food

2017-07-10T00:00:00+00:00

First-person cooking game, where you make cat food for cats. Made in a week for the Games Made Quick 1½ jam. Download Source

I did about 50% of the programming and all of the UI design/implementation. While Connor made the base ingredient/recipe data structures, I made code to generate recipes and the visuals for them. I also made the code for the paw movement and interactions. Lastly, I wrote the highscore network code.

DECK DUNGEON

2017-01-29T00:00:00+00:00

Card-based dungeon-crawling game made for the Games Made Quick jam. Featured on Warp Door, Jupiter Hadley, Team Know How, and others.

One of the suggestions of the game jam was to use something you haven’t used before, so I decided to make a framework-less, canvas-less, javascript game that only uses normal html elements. While the “game” aspect of the game is pretty broken — someone even wrote a script to win the game without playing — I’m pretty satisfied with it as a project and I’d love to revisit it at some point to rework the mechanics.

Heavily inspired by Donsol by Hundred Rabbits

How to change the background?

To set a solid background color, you can use either color hex codes or named colors (such as “red”, “blue”, “goldenrod”, etc)

If you want to use an image, enter the URL of the image in the text box, such as https://nathanwentworth.co/assets/img/photos/2013-06-20+17.48.18.jpg

How to change the text color?

Much like the above background, you can change the text color using hex codes or color names.

How to change the font?

The font can be loaded in via Google fonts. This is done by entering a name of a font, and a font weight. For example, if you wanted to load in “Rubik bold”, you’d type “Rubik:500”. You can see font weights by:

Finding a font on Google fonts
Going on that font’s page, and selecting “Select This Font” in the top right
Clicking in the “1 Family Selected” box that appears once you’ve selected a font
Clicking “Customize” will show you the available font weights, and their numbers, such as “light 300”, “regular 400”, “bold 700”, etc.
Enter the font’s name (Rubik, Roboto, etc), and weight number, such as “Roboto:400” in the time tab font text box
You should also be able to enter a font name without the :###, like “Rubik”, and it will just load the default weight
