Ultimate Tic Tac Toe - A Group Project

The Game

Making It

By now,  I'm certain you're aware of how to play tic tac toe. But what if, every single one of those 9 squares, was another tic tac toe game? Also, depending on where you last played, you can only play in that same square in the big full-size game. This is a project my friend (found on github at AlteredNode) was working on, that I got involved in.

Together, we built a game that was simple enough to make, but entertaining enough to keep a group focused for a while. We ported it to Windows, Mac,  Android, and iOS, though it is not in any of the app stores yet. It still has to be sideloaded for now. 

The Project

You can find the source code for the Unity project here, the XCode project for porting to iOS here, and download the game here.

Hacking My Mazda Infotainment - MZD-AIO and CASDK

Image
How Does the 2014-2019 Mazda Connect Infotainment Work? The infotainment system in my 2015 Mazda 3 is incredibly strange. The entire infotainment "operating system" that you see is nothing more than the Opera web browser showing regular old HTML, JS, and CSS web pages. As strange as this solution is, this offers amazing possibilities that most other car infotainment systems don't allow for. Unlike my old Audi running QNX or something equally strange, the Mazda runs a regular version of Linux with a very normal web browser. In fact, it has become even easier to work with in recent year, due to the abundance of Arm-based phones and laptops, just like the Arm CPU in the Mazda Infotainment.  The infotainment system was made by a company called Johnson Controls International, or JCI rather than being made in-house by Mazda. JCI left a lot of development and debugging features even in the final versions of the OS that went out to consumer cars. A Brief History of Hacking the Ma...

Videopaks for the OP-Z

Image
Background In 2020, slightly before the pandemic, I purchased a small synthesizer called the OP-Z, manufactured by Teenage Engineering . It's little gray rectangle, about the size of a tv remote, with full synthesizer and sampler capabilities. It's a very nice, capable little device, but it lacks a screen, or any kind of display save for a bunch of RGB LEDS inside most of the buttons. Now, no display whatsoever is a little tricky on such a complicated device, so the solution to this was to use your phone or tablet as a display to show what's going on inside the synthesizer. The best part, is the app allows you to create your own visuals to sync up with your music. What I Made I'm not the best artist out there, so I looked for how to make a tool rather than just art with this platform called "Videolab." I wound up creating two different tools. The first one was a spinning drum, where each note you play on the synthesizer would create a ball, playing a sound eac...

The Nautilus - A Group Project

Image
  The Game The Nautilus is a game a friend of mine, Eden (found here on GitHub), started back over a year ago. It's gone through many revisions, eventually winding up as a web-based game that involves controlling a spaceship, navigating obstacles, and avoiding enemies.  Features Contains custom audio, perfectly looping music and background sounds, visual effects, a momentum storing and releasing mechanic, and more. Playable with WASD for movement, and the space bar to store, then subsequently release your momentum later for ultimate speed control.  The Project The source code can be found on GtiHub here , and is playable at the following link:  https://eden-annora.github.io/TheNautilus/ . Have fun! Please star the project, and report issues if you find some. Note that the game is early in development, so there will be some bugs.
