The Busy Bees is a simple game, where you get to sit, and spectate bees pollinate flowers, and you watch your bees grow over time.


There is no goal, but only an objective. Get as much flowers in the grass as possible.
This game was made for PegJam 2024, for the theme of "The Bees".
It was made in under 12 hours. Originally planned to use Godot, but things quickly turned grey, so i went to unity as my backup plan!

WEBSITES:


TYTD V2

--- TYTD V2 ---

Worlds simplest YouTube audio/video/playlist downloader.


TYTD V2 (Togi's YouTube Downloader Version 2) is a simple web-based downloader to download YouTube content. I made this website because i got exceptionaly tired of other websites sucking and having a bunch of ads.
I used to have an older downloader i hosted back when i first started web development. However, i deprecated it ages ago after i stopped hosting it - so i needed a new one.
This is the project that made me create the Central Portfolio Server, it was the first website to be hosted on it - my portfolio homepage not being finished until the summer of 2024.

This project is 100% open source and the github for the project is linked below! (Licnesed under MIT)

Winnipeg Buswatch

--- Winnipeg Buswatch ---

Super cool website to see information on individual Winnipeg Transit busses, all by fleet number.


Winnipeg Buswatch is a website i wrote out of pure curiosity and love for public transit. This website enables anyone, anywhere, to receive information on any Winnipeg Transit bus, provided the fleet number.
I use a custom written algorithim for data, along with using the public CPTDB wiki.
You can get ALMOST any information on a bus! Even a picture of it!
This website was built prior to my new server architecture, it was migrated over in Feb 2024.

pssst... Dont tell transit i use their non-documented Navigo API that i should not be using. I'll always find a way... I'll write my own documentation ;)

This project is NOT open source.
And unfortunately, due to Winnipeg Transit's switch to their new transit system, (and therefore likley updating their Navigo App API) - this website will most likley be deprecated/reworked after June 25th, 2025.

Portfolio

--- Portfolio---

Portfolio website, and how i made it.


My portfolio website was made after TYTD was added to the Central Porfolio Server in early 2024. It wasn't finished until the summer of 2024. It is is made entierly in pure vanilla JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. This page uses the same CSS and styling as my portfolio. Every element is made by me, other than the icons.
My portfolio is also 100% responsive on all mobile devices :) - support done in pure vanilla.

Dot Piano Midi Player

--- Dot Piano Midi Player ---

A script that allows you to play .mid files through dotpiano.com


Although no longer maintained, it deserves to still be here on my portfolio as it still works, and was one of my first ever public projects.
This is a script i made that once injected into the front end through the developer console, will play a custom .mid file on the site. Something in which is normally not possible.
I made this because i felt as if it should be a feature. So i made it one by reading the obfuscated front end code, finding endpoints, and making my own private documentation on their API.
From there, i learnt how to manipulate their API, but most importantly i saw how it loaded midi files from it, which led me eventually, to make this script.

Forge Chat Prefixes

--- Forge Chat Prefixes ---

A simple server-side mod for Forge that allows chat prefixes


Were you look for hours like i was? for a 1.20.1 Forge chat prefix mod? well fear not! I got so fuckin tired of it i just decided id learn how to make a mod. And here is the result of that.

I made this minecraft mod for a content creator whos server i was hosting, after being unable to find one myself.
Learnt a bit of java along the way, also learnt how to use the Forge API for minecraft. It was a fun little learning expereince, while also creating something i genuinly needed.

Central Portfolio Server

--- Central Portfolio Server ---

Web server


The Central Portfolio Server (CPS) is my main web server, hosting all my pages and projects. Your on it right now. This server was made modularly, so i could easily add new pages and backend code in less than 4 minutes.
The server has modules, each module being a differnt part of the website. For example, my Portfolio module - which is my home page and servers page. Your on my Projects module right now. Each module has its own backend.js file and front end files. Each being a seperate node project.
Each of these seperate projects are then launched modularly from the CPS, which only hosts the server on the https port, serving no files. Then the CPS calls initialize() on all of the loaded modules, passing the server as a paramter. Simple. Easy. Fast.
