Chatback: Talk to Virtual Sean
Chatback lets you have a conversation with an on-screen character, who responds to keywords in what you say and learns what you type in. Uses speech where supported on your device.
Hangman
This is the classic word guessing game with about 200 words included. I've chosen a few words that I think will be hard to guess. Can you get them?
Snowman
Can you guess the word before the Snowman is complete? This is a Christmas-themed version of the classic word game Hangman.
Misfit: Sliding puzzle game
Give your brain a workout with this sliding puzzle game. There are lots of photos to choose from.
Pairs
This is a classic card game, popular with children, where you have to remember where pairs of cards are. This version uses photo cards. What's your best score?
Christmas Pairs
This is a version of the card game Pairs, also known as Memory or Concentration, with a Christmas theme. Some of the cards are similar, so this is harder than the main Pairs game.
Scrambler: Secret Message Maker
Use Scrambler to code your secret messages using a password, or to decode messages your friends send you.
Life
Conway's game of Life is a simulated ecosystem. You can assign cells to a grid and watch as they evolve. If they're too crowded, they'll die. If they're lonely, they'll die too. Only the fittest and most comfortable survive. Can you make a community that thrives?
Fingerpaint
This toy pre-dates touch devices and needs a mouse. Use the mouse to dip your pointer in the different coloured inks and smear them across the virtual canvas. Fingerpaint offers all the joy of childhood painting, with none of the mess.
Virtual Webcam
Take a peek at me working with this Javascript-powered virtual webcam. You'll find me at my desk whenever you check in!
Wallbuster
Wallbuster is a version of the classic bat and ball game, where you have to move the bat to keep the ball in play and demolish the wall. To control the bat, place the mouse on top of it and slide it left and right. This game opens in a new window.
Sean's Amstrad CPC games
I wrote my first games using the Amstrad CPC computer way back in the 1980s. You can download my BASIC and assembly language games to play in an emulator, and read my CPC programming book.
