Games I've Created

First published 18th January 2015 (Last Modified 15th April 2022)

I have created some browser based games including two based in the Linrodeth universe. They're all either ASCII games or HTML games. They all use Ondrej Zara's rot.js javascript library (though often just for the random number functions). The roguelike game Spider Caves also uses Alexandru Marasteanu's sprintf javascript library and is based on Dominic Charley-Roy's Coding cookies blog.

The games hosted here are:

Get Elected
A game based on the City of Linrodeth's election system - Can you become Alderman of your ward?
Spider Caves
A Roguelike based on exploring a dangerous cave system
Sumo Oyakata
Will, eventually, be an xxx Manager style game for Sumo - or maybe not depending on how development/creation goes! Currently it does simulate most of a Sumo honbasho.
Domain of the Ancients
A single player browser version of my play by mail game Domain of the Ancients 2.

In the past I've written plenty of games on my (now retired) BBC micro and Archimedes computers. Obviously1 these aren't hosted here (or actually on any currently working computer I own) although one of them, Snazzy Snake has the source code hosted here. I also, in my youth, wrote games for the Commodore Pet - but that's really showing my age 🙂

Footnotes

  1. Of course there are emulators for both of these, even emulators that run in the browser - however the code is on discs that would now be very hard to recover the data from. That's a shame ↩

The Chronicle

First published 16th December 2017 (Last Modified 3rd April 2022)

Version 1.1

The latest version of 21 Years of the Chronicle includes fixes for all of the errata I've identified over the last five years.

Note that all these downloads (apart from the MOBI format version) are about 100MB in size. The MOBI file is only 5MB or so in size - largely because the conversion I used has lost a lot of the formatting (including the font information).

This is the index/contents page for the chronicle. You'll find:

I've several pages about various aspects of the Linrodeth Universe including:

There's also errata for 21 Years of The Chronicle. These have all been fixed in the pages linked by the index, but not in the PDF or ODT documents.

I also have characters that I play in the Linrodeth Universe:

Spider Caves Fixed

Yesterday I discovered that my spider caves plugin was broken (in fact it looks like it's been broken since at least the conversion to wordpress. All the problems I discovered have now been fixed 🙂

Errata for 21 Years of The Chronicle

First published 3rd June 2017 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

I recently printed a few copies of a collection of The Chronicles (PDF ODT). As you would expect I've noticed a few errors that had I spotted them before printing I would have fixed. I did do two proofing runs which did flag up quite a few other errors which were, of course, corrected. So, I would have fixed:

Copyright page, Fifth Paragraph
Missing word are which should appear after the word interludes in Many interludes from background...
Major Events, Galemir 137
...begins constriction... should read ...begins construction...
Second paragraph following Linrodeth Sherrifs
Add in 148 between ...became Lady of the City and following the invasion.
Linrodeth (following Midsummer 139), Last Paragraph
The comma at the end of It has some advantages, should be a full stop.
Setheran 138, Fifth paragraph
Change spelling of incidently to incidentally.
Heliora 140, Fourth paragraph
Add paragraph break immediately before Cllr Perignon's problems have not ended with the.... and another paragraph break immediately before Gax has once again...
Arvinoth 141, Fourth Paragraph

Pipetal 144, Second page, Third paragraph
Extraneous spaces inside the quoted motion text.
Skelern 145, Second page, second paragraph
Misplaced full stop at the end of this paragraph for British punctuation makes this hard to read
Pipetal 145, Paragraph immediately before Late News

Pipetal 145, Second paragraph in Late News
Insert a comma between elections and Lady in ...just prior to the elections Lady Cox has completed by Decree...
A Map in the Gelt Mountains (following Kryll 145)
This image needs resharpening or something. Compare with the map of catacombs following Menderal 1421.
Pipetal 146, Fourth Paragraph
Add £82 between extra and for the phrase ... it emerged that the extra for the docks....
Jasmarill 146, Third Paragraph
Needs a paragraph break before the sentence starting Concerns have been raised over....
Pipetal 148, First Paragraph
Missing paragraph break immediately before the sentence that starts Sheriff Aralan Derwent has taken....
Pipetal 148, Second Paragraph
Missing paragraph break immediately before the sentence that starts Lady Beatrice Perignon is delighted.... Note that with these two extra paragraph breaks I would have been forced into a light edit to avoid a couple of orphan lines.
Jasmarill 148, Last Paragraph
Space after the opening quotation mark for Randy Parkinson's quote should instead be immediately before the quotation mark.
Menderal 148
The text of this Chronicle is a repeat of that for Menderal 149. A correct version of the contents can be found at on this website at Menderal 148.
Jasmarill 150, Second Paragraph
Remove the s from the word votes in ...and declared his intention to votes against the motion.
A Map of Oldgate Ward
This map was based on Aldgate Ward in London. As such it needs reflecting horizontally across the middle of the map2. Compare with the map of Linrodeth as whole.
Menderal 151, Title line
The Chronicle is missing its leading T.
Menderal 151, First Paragraph
of should be on in ...its advance of Linrodeth....
Ternost 151, First Paragraph

Ternost 151, Fifth Paragraph
Change trail to trial in ... turn attention away from his trail....
Ternost 154, Second Paragraph
Missing full stop after the quotation mark that immediately follows ...scared to enter.

Caralingas Lineage
Birth year of 131 for Eleanor is wrong (since that would make her only 10 when Alexis was born). 121 is the correct year.
Skelern 158, Fourth Paragraph
The following should be inside quotation marks: We now wait to see which of our Aldermen will vote for the right people and which will follow orders and vote for the grubby deal we were first presented with. At the end of this quotation should be a sentence break. Also a missing comma before the very last word are:.

Let me know if you find more!

Footnotes

  1. Not sure what happened here - this looked fine in the proof print ↩
  2. Sigh, had I spotted when I first created the map it would have been relatively easy to do by just reversing the greaseproof paper I used to copy the road layout - and then scribe in the road names and annotations. To fix it now will require some significant work in an image manipulation program! ↩
