CarnageStats.com
Subscription based service targeting online video gamers. Provided long-term storage of players’ high-volume game data. Mined lifetime gaming data for detailed analysis of gameplay statistics.
The site was created with PHP, Flash, SQL, and massive amounts of XML consumption.
Flash Casino Chip Designer
I needed a custom casino chip collection so I took a gamble and built a prototype casino chip designer using Flash. I presented the idea to the largest casino chip manufacturer in the US. They bought the idea. The final product allows their customers (major casinos) to create and preview new chip designs interactively.
“Dare the Devil” Casino Chip Set
This is a full set of casino chips that I designed for myself.
Since I primarily play poker, I also created an Excel spreadsheet that helped me determine which denominations and how many chips of each denomination to order. Feel free to download if you are trying to figure out your chip needs for a 500 person poker tournament.
‘All the Queens Horses’ for Lexmark International, Inc.
‘All the Queens Horses’ was a CD-ROM for the Print Art Educational Program by Lexmark International, Inc. The CD-ROM contained art & artifact images on British history by way of the horse, and was delivered alongside a Lexmark printer to classrooms nationally. I completed this project under my entity, Oddvark Design.
LunchMatrix
Have you ever worked in an office that has a 30min-2hr debate every day about where to go eat lunch. I did, so I created the LunchMatrix to solve this problem.
The system used a complex algorithm that processed a daily semi-random input of restaurants and employee preferences, to precisely guarantee a tasty noontime meal for all. It also turned out to be a Wachowskyan exploration of the human nature, as the human lunchgoers willingly gave their freedom of choice over to their binary and possibly evil food-selector overlord. A comical notion that was unintended at the initial naming of the app.
