ColorToy

Teaching HTML to adult evening classes isn't usually a particularly difficult job. However I have found a major sticking point in teaching them to understand colour-mixing with Hex values. This is an important part of the course even at Level 1, so I had to find a way to teach it so that they could absorb the concept more quickly. My first idea, as someone who will take any excuse to get their soldering iron out, was to go to my local electronics store and buy the parts with which to build a three-colour torch with a separate dial for each colour. I quickly realised however that this would cost over ’20 to build, and might not produce enough light to be effective. Solution? Build it in software instead! Plans for version 2: - Add a 'Help screen to include colour mixing advice - Add 'Advanced Mode' which will have 2 sliders for each colour for more accurate values Download ColorToy.exe (35 KB)

Projects 'In Progress'

ST Character Sheet

This will be a character sheet generator for my local Star Trek group. Many people get put off by the existing roleplay books and resources as they are quite complex and it takes a good hour just to generate your character! As we will be running a simpler version of table-top roleplay, we only need a simple character generator. The user will enter their name, rank, position and desired race - and the character's stats and specialities will be generated by using base-values from the user-supplied information, and adding on the required 'dice roll' values using a randomiser.

If this goes well, I will probably go on to create a character generator for the official role-play games as one does not yet exist.
