Projects
A selection of my personal projects over the years. From small to not-so-small – anything that captured my interest long enough to be called a "project" goes here.
Retronix
Retronix is a remake of the classic 1984 DOS game, Xonix. Initially I just wanted to code something for my Nexus Player. As I got further into the implementation I realised I can extract a common gameplay core and make it work on the desktop as well. And then I stumbled into GWT and implemented one more frontend with it. As a result the game builds for desktop Java, Android (both TV and touch devices) and is playable on the web.

¿Cuánto es?
¿Cuánto es? was my first foray into the Android platform. A simple app to help you practice Spanish numerals. The app uses a flashcard-style interface and the builtin Android speech synthesizer allows you to check your pronunciation. At some point the app could be expanded to other languages and other types of practice material.
