Welcome to part two of the tale of the Christmas fam scarf. The blog can be read in any order with no detriment to enjoyment. Here’s a sum-up of each.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas everyone! It’s Christmas 2015 and my brother and his girlfriend are soon to unwrap what I hope is the most alarming yet heartwarming gift they’ve ever received: Their very own double-sided, two-colour Christmas fam scarf.

In August 2013 I embarked on another new game project in my then-favourite language Java. Heartened by the knowledge that everyone loves a good classic game clone, I decide to write my own rendition of Snake.

In June 2012 I’d just finished my degree and, having not yet given up hope of taking the indie gaming scene by storm, embarked on another game project. I decided I’d write a platform game, and that I’d write it using JavaScript and HTML5 canvas.

LrnceTetris is a game I wrote in April 2010, just at the tail end of the second year of my Comp Sci degree (an explanation of the name ‘Lrnce’ and its derivatives is a whole other blog post). It’s not the first in its category of did-all-the-fun-stuff-then-got-bored hobby coding projects I’ve worked on over the years but it is the first I’m willing to exhibit with only a slight accompanying cringe.
