A full boat through a sunny rapid, close enough to a rock to earn a near-miss.

Middle Fork Rafting Simulator
Multiplayer whitewater. One raft, everyone paddles.
A multiplayer rafting game built in Godot. You and a boat of friends, all river otters in oversized helmets, paddle a procedurally generated Idaho canyon and carry a job's cargo to its take-out. The water is modelled to real ranges, and the otters are cartoons.
- Jobs. Pick a cargo (wedding cake, beehive, watermelon, piano) and run it to the take-out flag. A hard hit costs you a tier of cake.
- Join by code. A three-word trip code or a link puts a friend in your boat, even on a trip already on the water. If the host leaves, the trip carries on.
- Real rapids. A canyon generated from a seed. Rocks wrap boats, holes keep them, waves launch them.
- Nobody stays stuck. Throw bags and rope hauls for rescues, and a bird that carries a stranded swimmer back to the raft.
Prognosticator
Command Center
One home screen links every tool: Now Playing, Effect Picks, the Disperser, Lights, Gear Setup, Scene Controls and your playlists and tags. Import a Spotify playlist and Prognosticator downloads each track from YouTube, then pulls BPM and key from VirtualDJ.

Smart light controls
Prognosticator: visualizer scenes
The lighting rig has a second home. Prognosticator sends its beat grid and DMX output to a Godot visualizer, so every light cue also plays in a venue that does not exist.
The booth-mirror lens looks out over the crowd through haze, with laser sheets and pars in pink, blue and yellow.
Warehouse
An endless, procedurally generated club that the Godot visualizer builds out of code and lights only with DMX values. The same rig, action or Effect Picks card that drives the real fixtures drives its 104 virtual ones, as volumetric beams and shadow-casting spotlights in haze, while a camera rides through rooms and tunnels and cuts on the beat.
Mario runs toward a bank of coins working as blinders, under star pars and a laser, in the level's own blue haze.
Super Mario 64
The warehouse's DMX kit re-skinned onto Super Mario 64: pars are Power Stars, movers are cannon heads, lasers are Amps, and the lava is eight pars. The open-source decomp port runs as a library inside Godot, which draws every frame the game produces. All 45 areas have a lighting plot and a DJ Peach at the decks, and an autopilot plays Mario on the beat while a director cuts between nine lenses. Bring your own ROM.
testq
One queue for every Godot run on the machine.
The warehouse, the SM64 scene and the rafting game all test and capture on one PC, from a couple of dozen worktrees that each think they have it to themselves. Two suites starting in the same minute slowed each other enough to fail anything timed against the wall clock, and those failures read exactly like real ones. testq is a small daemon that holds the machine's slots, and every run script asks it before launching an engine.
- Outside every project. A capture in the DJ app and a physics suite in the game are two engines on one box, and neither repo can see the other's. The queue belongs to neither.
- Shortest first. Estimates come from each job's own history, so a twenty-second test does not sit behind two eleven-minute suites. A job that has waited long enough ages to the front.
- Hung runs get killed. An engine that stalls or overruns its limit is stopped and its slot handed back. A client that dies has its slots reclaimed in about five seconds.
- A page and a tray dot. What is running, what is queued and roughly when it starts, with every finished run kept in SQLite to pick out the jobs that only sometimes pass.
Scrandle
A weekly game built from my friends' dinner photos. Ten pairs of plates: pick the one the channel rated higher, then see the ratings and who cooked each.

Yut Hut
A Discord bot that turns workout check-ins into Old School RuneScape progress for a friend group. Each check-in is a Slayer session run on the game's real XP table and drop tables, and the results come back as OSRS-style cards.
- Two a week. The first two check-ins count in full, then half, then a fifth. A rest day is written down and never punished.
- The bot asks. Every morning it posts one question with a Yes and a No, and edits the roll call into the post as people answer.
- Numbers from the wiki. Monsters, Slayer masters, drop rates and gear come from the OSRS Wiki. Only the session length is tuned.
- Something to chase. Clue caskets, a pick of three spoils, gear drops, an Achievement Diary, a quest and a group boss each week.
