That is a prototype, the real site is amazing
First semester project for CS at uni
Run and compile it if you want it's a console program. Just some crappy game called 'Evil Squash'
It's the same format as Snakes and Ladders, although people can never be on the same square, so when you land on someone you have to Evil Squash them or bounce off them.
Evil Squashing sends them back to where you were before you landed on them.
Bouncing lets you roll again and move on.
If you roll 3 6's in a row then you go back to the start.
If you bounce off one player, then land on another player after the bounce you HAVE to squash them.
I have added a lot of unnecessary but fun things, e.g. working with substrings and console colors etc which were for my own amusement. Try it please
Some of my code is extremely ugly and I know I lack comments and professionalism.

I've worked on these two sites over the last few months. (links are intentionally broken so they don't show up in analytics)
grace and tailor .co.uk
This was my first attempt at parallax scrolling and admittedly, there are some things I'm not totally pleased with and some things I would have liked to have done better. Still, I think it's pretty darn decent for the amount of time I had available for it.
There is actually a round of amends and fixer-upper-ing scheduled soon so I should hopefully be able to sort out some of the bits that bother me the most, such as the lack of a active/selected style on the mainNav as you click or scroll down the page.
looking 4 parking .com
We did this site a few years ago, but when it came time to migrate it to the latest version of our custom CMS a few months ago, we just went ahead and redid the whole front end.
Looking around at other airport car parking comparison sites, I feel pretty confident saying that ours is the nicest and most professional looking. However, there was a rush to get it live so the inner pages still need a lot of TLC, which is scheduled to be done in the next couple months.

Looking 4 parking .com looks really good, lots of nice jquery touches to help usability and the design is great. Only thing I really don't like and think detracts from the whole site is the flash animations of the car etc.
Hi guys,
After i have had some success designing and launching a few sites i think that i should make my own personal site as a bit of advertising.
I have thought about designing it in PhotoShop and then coding it in DreamWeaver what do people think about doing it that way?
Also a friend wants to start a blog and has purchased the domain etc so he was just wondering what would be the best way that he can easily update the blog daily without having to do hand coding. I think something like Wordpress would be ideal?
Thanks

DirectX 11 renderer that will hopefully have some working form of real-time radiosity (transmission of light between surfaces in general terms) by the 16th (due date). I'm now effectively in "crunch time" to get it done xD.
- C++
- DirectX 11
- Deferred Shading (Images in top left, diffuse map, normal maps, position map).
(Clicky)
By next year it will have tessellation and the likes for my dissertation. Fun fun fun....

Deadline is tomorrow, currently writing the report for it
, but it now has a form of radiosity in it and pretty happy with the results! Using a Cornell Box scene to demo it. Only thing remaining would be to add shadows, but adding radiosity was my topic of choice so concentrated on that.Without any radiosity, just direct lighting.
Then first attempt, improvement attempt one, improvement attempt two.

Since the last two projects I posted earlier this month, I've been working on a new website for one of our existing clients.
I'm just finishing off the html/css/jquery templates before putting it into our CMS and I'd quite like some constructive criticism, if anyone has any to give.
