I won the Java 4k Game Competition 2011

-
I'm very proud to say that my game '4Kube 3d' won the java 4k game competition this year. And what is more surprising, for me at least, is that it came first in both the judge and community voting.

The timing of the results was very good also for me. I've just come back after seven months of backpacking in Asia and this will certainly relieve some of the inevitable post travel depression.

Needless to say i got a lot of help from other people, so a big thanks to:
* Rasmus (RL. GREEN LABEL) for helping me with level design and testing.
* The guys at java-gaming.org forums for a lot of tips on how to improve the game.
* Riven for his most excellent Compile 'n Shrink service.

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 ! Lazy loading of tables and performance optimations by Jason Axley 2010-08-02 1.3.0 ! Better ie6 support, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16655 Fixed parameter name typo, http://plugins.jquery.com/node/16819 2010-07-08 1.2.0 ! Fixed a few bugs and added reinit and recalculate functions to the table. 2009-10-19 1.1.0 ! Better compatibility, better tested. There are still some problems with IE6 that i would like to have some help with. 2009-10-15 1.0.7 is out! With all fixes made...

Seascape - OpenVR adaptation of a 4k intro

-
Image
At Revision this year I competed in the 4k intro competition with an intro called 'falling'. Because I've been doing a lot of VR related stuff lately I decided to convert the intro into an interactive VR experience(?). The original shader is a single raymarched scene which means that demo is very demanding on the GPU. But you can provide a scale factor for the framebuffers on the command line to get acceptable framerate. The binaries are compiled for Windows 10 and can be downloaded here . I suggest putting on some nice background music like  Röyksopp  for maximum effect. If you're not that into VR you can go over to Shadertoy and watch the intro instead,  https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dcSDN .
