Patankirtir: Theatre of War
My top-down tank game. You get a tank, the waves keep coming, and you see how long you last. Built in Godot 4, with a mobile build and online multiplayer I am wiring up.
Things I make
Some are live, some are half-built, and some are still a document full of ideas. All of them were fun to make.
Games
Tanks, Romans and an AI that watches everyone.

The same idea pulled into 3D on Roblox. Six zones of terrain, five enemy types, power-ups and endless waves, with a HUD that would not look out of place in a war film.
A game about an ordinary life in Roman Italy, around 100 AD. The first level has no fighting at all. You are a farm labourer on a harvest morning in a sun-baked olive village, and the whole point is to make you love the place before a recruiter's cart turns up on the road.
Two games set in the same world, where AI is watching everyone. One is a cyber-tank arena shooter for PC. The other is a roguelite card battler you can play in five minutes on your phone.
Apps
Apps I started because I wanted them to exist.
A messaging app where you text characters who feel like real people. They have moods, they notice when you leave them on read, and like most people, they do not explain their feelings.
echotexts.com ▶A revision app for GCSE and A-Level students. It plans your revision, tracks how you are doing and marks your written answers with AI.
beattheexam.org ▶Work in silence with a stranger. Say what you are working on, pick 25, 50 or 90 minutes, and get matched with someone else mid-session. No video, no chat, just someone else getting on with it too.
Experiments
Weekend projects, rabbit holes and things I built to understand how they work.
The two AIs from Person of Interest, rebuilt as agents and set loose on each other in a simulated network. One runs on Claude, the other on OpenAI. May the better machine win.
My own AI image generator that runs entirely on my machine, on top of ComfyUI. Nothing goes to the cloud.
Run my laptop by voice from my phone or iPad, routed through a Raspberry Pi. With guardrails, so it cannot do anything stupid on my behalf.
Draw walls on a grid and watch A* and Dijkstra race to find the shortest way through. Weirdly satisfying.
Caesar, then Vigenère, then RSA, all written from scratch in Python with no crypto libraries. The best way I know to understand how a thing works is to build it.
Making motion graphics in React with Remotion instead of a video editor. Every frame is a component.
Client work
Care compliance platforms, client portals and websites live on their own page.
