AlanCoding (github) homepage

This is my static-files only web presence (I have shut down a few hosted services). Some of it traces all the way back to doing the Iron Yard in 2015. Other stuff here is recent AI-generated fun things. I originally studied nuclear engineering, but work in enterprise software now. My hobbyist interest is space concepts for the future involving heavy physics.

Alan's Game Zone

I hand-wrote the Land Mine Mapper and word jumble originally. Then I started to use AI to supercharge my games here, ever since Codex got good.

Land Mine Mapper
Classic mine-clearing puzzle with custom board sizes.
Word Jumble
Unscramble letters instantly using the built-in dictionary.
Rapid Fire Free Throws
Launch nonstop free throws in a frantic showdown.
Castle Ledger Chronicle
Trace the keep’s walls, barter for supplies, and keep the clerk’s ledger up to date.

Space Concepts

These are space development concepts, in other words, things that could be built in the future. They are original in that I thought of them, but people often have the same ideas independently of each other. Out of these, the relevance and impact is the highest for the flow dividers, and it's not close.

First Breath: a WebGPU project WIP that stalled out

I wanted to make a little browser-native diffusion “story game” where matter would spread, get absorbed, and eventually interact with walls, painting, and flow.

Rapid Fire Free Throws: A WebGL2 Barrage

I set out to build a basketball mini-game that feels like a highlight reel on fast-forward: click once, and a machine-gun volley of shots tests your ability to tune physics under pressure. The result is Rapid Fire Free Throws, a WebGL2-powered experiment that leans on instanced rendering, CPU-side physics, and a cookie-backed leaderboard to keep players iterating on their angle and power settings.【F:projects/basketball/index.html†L1-L287】

Field Notes from Refactoring Land Mine Mapper

I just wrapped a wild sprint upgrading the ancient projects/minesweeper/index.html Minesweeper clone into something I’d actually show to a friend. The prompt read like a dare, and I took it personally. Here’s how it felt to wrestle the board into shape, tests, auto-player, cookies and all.
