■ Experiments

Have fun and be creative. There is a world of deprecated html tags, game engines, JavaScript emulators of obsolete systems. You get to kick off little experiments and see if they make you smile or think.

These aren’t demos. They’re not portfolio pieces. They’re small machines built to see what happens — phosphor trails on a dark screen, a character that remembers your mood. Each one is constrained on purpose: vanilla JS, tiny footprints, no dependencies. The constraint is the point.

If something feels broken, it might be. That’s fine. Early computers were full of beautiful accidents.
