Code

Bitsy Web Player – HTML Front End for playing Bitsy games. Bitsy works on most platforms with a modern web browser, but touch controls on Phones and Tablets is a little finicky. This is a front end that displays a list of Bitsy games, and when one is selected, opens it with on-screen controls for the game. This allows everyone, including those with mobility issues to play Bitsy games. It also supports handheld joypads. The code has been removed from github at the request of the developer of Bitsy.

Bitsy Gallery Player – This is my version of Adam LeDoux’s BitsyBox. Place Bitsy games in a folder, and it will give you a front end with all the games. Unlike LeDoux’s player, this one uses Bitsy’s HTML files. Supports handheld joypads. Currently it is Mac-Ony since I developed it with Swift. It has been pulled from Github at the request of the developer of Bitsy. I developed it for Design Camp 2026, where we passed around a bluetooth game controller and played each other’s games.

Slow Player – Plays a frame of video every 5 seconds. Currently a stand-alone app with a range slider. I’m making changes to the code to reduce the time to 5 seconds and turning it into a screen saver. Once it’s done it will go on Github.

SmashaVid – Work in progress. Takes random frames from a video clip and combines them to create a single image. A new way to explore the temporal nature of video and create alternate ways of viewing. I plan on releasing both desktop and iPhone versions.
