Developed the client app as the sole developer using the spec provided by Schoola. Lots of client/server networking to provide product descriptions and allow secure purchasing. Primarily developed using UIKit.

Designed and developed a new version of the MacIPAC program that I released back in 2005. A complete rewrite that supports Ultimarc's newest I-PAC hardware and has a lot of improvements.

Developed the audio/video compositing and effects engine that powers the app.

Assisted in the design of the app. Developed the fundamental architecture and technology for the client/server functionality. Developed the client app as the sole developer.

Built the app using textPlus Labs designs.

Being an old-school Mac developer, I had a few projects sitting around that were written using resource files. Unfortunately, there aren't any programs (like ResEdit) that let you access or use resource files/forks anymore. So, I decided to write one! I put together rezycle to grab resources from old apps and convert them into modern formats. It has come in quite handy for folks making new versions of classic Mac software.

Built the app as the sole programmer using AppWagon designs. Developed 4 track music engine and custom sound system and format that guarantees that all tracks stay synced, loop and swap out with no interruptions.

Designed and programmed the game while leading the team of 2 artists and a sound engineer.

Assisted in preparing the game for release. Mostly involved bug stomping and optimizations.

Developed the internal engine that referees the game as well as the AI player.

Developed two programs behind the scenes in TuneRooms. The first is the Mixdown program that takes any number of mp3 tracks and mixes them together each with independent mix levels and then outputs the result into a new mp3 file. The Peak Analyzer program scans an mp3 file and returns VU meter information that is used to display waveform data within the user interface.

Took the Spark 2 library to the next level. Added in a whole bunch of neato new things as well as converting the entire engine over to OpenGL.

Designed and developed an application to program the various IPAC devices created by Ultimarc. An IPAC is a circuit board that is used to hook up arcade controls and buttons to your computer via USB.

Developed a mobile application that grabbed coordinates from the built-in GPS and occasionally uploaded them to a server where it was combined with maps in order to show a history of movement as well as the current location of the phone. Last I heard, it was to be used by the New York snowplow crews in order to improve the efficiency of dispatching plows.

Managed the team and developed the game.

Co-designed and developed the game.

Managed the team and developed the game.

Designed and developed a system that compresses dictionary entries to fit them on a phone. This library became the center of several BLW games (Blue Babel, Dell Magazine's Crosswords and Word Searches). The dictionary that we used for the games had 9011 words in it and the dictionary took a total of 25,266 bytes...and it could verify the spelling of a word instantaneously on even the slowest phones.

Managed the team and developed the game.

Designed and developed a mobile version of my Spark library to become the foundation for all future BLW products.

Designed and developed the greatest PNG compression software in the world.

Managed the team, co-designed and developed the game

Managed the team and developed the game.

Updated and improved the Spark library to focus on MacOS X development.

Helped build the GBA version of the game by assisting in integrating Tengine. I supported the development of all the other versions.

Converted Windows game to MacOS.

Designed and built a development system that produces Tetris games. The Tetrion Editor is a MacOS-based tool that the game designers use to rapidly prototype new variations and rules for games within the Tetris franchise. It is completely configurable with a custom scripting language that is used to implement the rules. The engine outputs TPF files which are then read by the Tengine. The Tengine is a platform agnostic library that implements the rules of Tetris according to a loaded TPF file. This allows many Tetris variants to be created without changing any code, but merely swapping out the data files.

Created a networking library to allow client access to the myTrack real-time online stock trading and market data system.

Converted Windows game to MacOS.

Developed a library to ease porting of Windows products over to the MacOS. Also came in handy for just making MacOS stuff.

Helped out with getting this game out the door.

Built a TCP/IP interface system to allow their AS/400 system to send commands to an array of Solaris boxes that controlled their soon-to-be-deployed digital cable service.

Managed the team, co-designed and developed the game.

Designed and developed a cross-platform game engine as a replacement for the now aging Igor library. It worked quite well and allowed us to build games with very little tweaking between Mac and Windows.

This project was a ton of fun. I did most of the programming (everything except the AI and the Windows conversion). The design was shared between the team. I even got to build some 3d models for some of the items. We decided that it absolutely needed to be played multiplayer, so I got some modem play going. I then built in TCP/IP networking to make it playable over this new system called the "Internet". After getting it all built, we went in search of a publisher and stumbled upon New World Computing.

Developed the game NetherWorld, a bizarre game in which you were a TV evangelist flying an airplane around hell trying to save the souls of the damned. We were definitely under the influence of Sinistar when designing this one. We then proceeded to run floppy disks through our disk copier, print labels and stuff mailing envelopes. What were we thinking?!?

Designed and developed a library for developing games. It covered all the basics Video, Audio and IO. It was used to develop NetherWorld and Chaos Overlords.

This was a crazy adventure of a project. We were porting Psygnosis' Barbarian from the Amiga to a couple of computers that really were vastly inferior. We needed to rewrite the game completely in assembly language and pull every trick in the book to shoehorn the game into these machines. I ran the conversion effort and built the 8801 version while Jim Morris banged away on the 9801 version.

I started off as a tools programmer on the project and moved into optimizing all of the graphics routines by converting to assembly language. After we realized that the C compiler we were using was not going to output clean enough code, I started rewriting even more the game into asm.
