flOw, the Flash game that lost its levels
5 October 2026
Jenova Chen's 2006 Flash game flOw plays on archive.org as an empty black sea. The fix was one missing XML file and some MP3s. So I made it a tribute page where you can play it properly.My Blog
Resurrecting The Space Game, a dead Flash game, by faking its server
10 September 2026
The Space Game has been unplayable since Flash died, and not because of Flash. The SWF everyone archived is a 16 KB loader that phones a server that no longer exists.

JST is my answer, and it's live.Tribal Gods: a Populous clone built from a blank folder with Fable 5
15 June 2026
In my Fable & Mythos ban write-up I mentioned, almost in passing, that I'd spent a few nights getting Fable 5 to build a Populous clone. It deserves its own page, and now it's live, open-source, and playable in your browser.Anthropic Fable and Mythos global ban and timeline

For a few days in June 2026, Anthropic shipped Fable 5 and Mythos 5, and then the US government switched them off. What happened, what's happened since, and whether the lights come back on.The Best Fudge Brownies Ever

Starting from the premise laid out by Stephen Wolfram: space and everything in it is made from abstract points which have some relationship with other points, and over time, these relationships change according to a finite set of rules.

In theory, DNA and RNA have some equivalence to certain concepts in computational theory. The genetic letters represent an alphabet, the proteins represent the strings of the genetic language.
